The MANUS Metagloves Pro are professional-grade motion capture gloves designed for high-precision finger tracking, reliable hand data, and repeatable motion capture across robotics, XR, research, simulation, and animation workflows.
Powered by MANUS’ advanced Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) tracking, Metagloves Pro capture detailed finger movement without optical occlusion, making them ideal for applications where hand motion must be tracked accurately even when cameras, markers, or line-of-sight tracking are limited.
With detachable top modules, swappable batteries, persistent calibration profiles, and support for multi-user glove textiles, Metagloves Pro scale from individual research setups to full production environments.
Features
- High-Precision EMF Tracking: Advanced EMF fingertip tracking captures detailed hand and finger motion with high accuracy, low latency, and no optical occlusion.
- 25 Degrees of Freedom: Captures a full anatomical hand model, including joint-level movement and subtle finger motion for detailed digital hand reconstruction.
- Fast Calibration: Persistent calibration profiles help reduce setup time and allow users to move between sessions, takes, glove textiles, or battery swaps with minimal interruption.
- Detachable Top Module: The electronics are built into a removable top module, allowing teams to share modules across different glove textiles and user sizes.
- Modular & Scalable Design: Swappable glove textiles, interchangeable batteries, and replaceable components support multi-user labs, production teams, and long-running research environments.
- Wired or Wireless Operation: Use USB-C for wired workflows or the MANUS wireless dongle for Bluetooth-based wireless operation up to 15 meters, depending on the environment.
- Professional Pipeline Integration: Stream glove data into Unreal Engine, Unity, MotionBuilder, Xsens MVN, OptiTrack, Qualisys, and other supported workflows, or export data for production and analysis.

Tracking Environment Note
MANUS Metagloves Pro use Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) tracking to deliver high-precision finger movement data. Like other EMF-based tracking systems, performance can be affected by strong magnetic fields, large conductive metal objects, magnetized tools, motors, or nearby electronic devices that interfere with the local tracking field.
For best results, avoid operating the gloves directly against large metal objects, active motors, magnetized tools, or electronics that may generate magnetic interference. In these environments, users may experience temporary tracking jitter, drift, or reduced positional accuracy. Performance typically improves when the gloves are moved away from the interfering object or device.

Use Cases
MANUS Metagloves Pro are ideal for detailed finger tracking in robotics research, teleoperation, VR training, motion capture, digital twins, motion science, ergonomic analysis, virtual prototyping, and human-machine interaction research.
For robotics and embodied AI workflows, the gloves provide high-fidelity human hand data that can support dexterous manipulation research, demonstration capture, imitation learning, and remote control of robotic hands.
FAQ
Are MANUS Metagloves Pro fully magnetically immune?
No. MANUS Metagloves Pro use EMF tracking, which is highly accurate in normal operating environments but can be affected by strong magnetic fields, large metal objects, magnetized tools, motors, or nearby electronics.
Can I use the gloves while holding metal objects?
Light interaction with small metal objects may work depending on the object and environment, but holding or working directly against conductive or magnetized metal may cause temporary tracking jitter, drift, or reduced accuracy.
What types of objects can interfere with EMF tracking?
Large metal surfaces, magnetized tools, active motors, robotic hardware, industrial machines, and electronic devices can interfere with the tracking field and affect sensor accuracy.
How do I get the best tracking performance?
Use the gloves in an open tracking area, keep the hand modules and fingertip sensors away from strong magnetic sources, and test the setup before production use if your workflow involves metal tools, robotic hands, or industrial equipment.
Are the gloves good for robotics and teleoperation?
Yes. Metagloves Pro are widely used for robotics research, teleoperation, motion data capture, and dexterous manipulation workflows. If the robot, tool, or workcell contains significant metal or active electronics, we recommend testing the gloves in the final environment and adjusting the setup to reduce interference.

FAQ
What is the difference between Metagloves Pro and Metagloves Pro Haptic?
Metagloves Pro focus on high-precision hand and finger tracking. Metagloves Pro Haptic add integrated vibrotactile feedback, allowing users to receive tactile cues during XR, robotics, teleoperation, and simulation workflows.
Are MANUS Metagloves Pro Haptic fully magnetically immune?
No. The gloves use EMF tracking, which is highly accurate in normal operating environments but can be affected by strong magnetic fields, large metal objects, magnetized tools, active motors, or nearby electronics.
Can I use the gloves around robotic hands or metal tools?
Yes, but performance depends on the robot, tool, and environment. Robotic hardware, metal end effectors, motors, and industrial equipment may cause interference, so the setup should be tested before production use.
What happens if there is magnetic interference?
Users may see temporary tracking jitter, drift, or reduced positional accuracy. Moving away from the interfering object or adjusting the workspace usually improves tracking quality.
Can the haptic feedback be customized?
Yes. The haptic system can be customized through MANUS software and SDK workflows, making it suitable for custom XR interactions, teleoperation cues, training scenarios, and robotics research.
Who should choose the Haptic version?
Choose Metagloves Pro Haptic if your workflow benefits from tactile feedback, such as robotic teleoperation, dexterous manipulation training, XR simulation, embodied AI research, or immersive training where users need to feel interaction cues.
