which glove do you use and which avatar model?

one way to do this is to use the glove with Motionbuilder (most glove companies provide a Motionbuilder plug-in) and then use Vizard Live Characters.

this requires Autodesk Motionbuilder and then the Worldviz Live Characters plugin

all best,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I have a 5DT Dataglove and I want to animate the hand of vcc_male of Vizard, without Autodesk Motionbuilder.
It is possible?
Thank you very much

Yes, this should be possible. Does the following work for you?
Code:
avatar = viz.add('vcc_male.cfg')

PORT_5DT_USB = 0 #Connect to first USB device
rightGlove = viz.add('5dt.dls')

import hand
rhand = hand.AvatarHandModel( avatar, sensor = rightGlove )
#lhand = hand.AvatarHandModel( avatar, sensor = sensor, left = True )
