Calibration & fit

Get the glove paired, powered and comfortably fitted before you build.

Pair & power on

1. Power on the arm module

   Press and hold the power button on the arm module. The glove itself has no electronics and nothing to switch on — see The kit & hardware.

2. Connect from your project

   HEXR does not pair through your operating system's Bluetooth settings, and there is no separate app to set it up in — your Unity scene or Python script opens the connection itself.

3. Note the Bluetooth address

   For Python, run AddressDiscovery.py to get the address; headset runtimes connect through the tutorial project.

Fit

Each finger of the glove carries an indenter — the part that presses into the fingertip and produces the sensation. If the finger is not pushed all the way in, the indenter never touches the fingertip and nothing is felt.

1. Push each finger all the way in

   Seat every fingertip at the end of its pocket. A finger that stops short leaves the indenter pressing on the wrong part of the finger, or on nothing at all.

2. Check where the indenter sits

   It should rest against the pad of the fingertip — not up on the nail, and not back on the first joint.

3. Snug, but not tight

   The glove should hold the indenters against the fingers without restricting them. Route the arm module so that it does not pull the glove back off the fingertips.
