Inspection system

This invention describes a system worn on a user's hand that combines a camera with sensors. The camera captures images from the hand's perspective, while the sensors measure physical properties directly from the hand, such as the force or distance between the thumb and a finger. It aims to provide both visual and quantitative data about what the hand is interacting with or how it is being used.

Why it matters: Filed in 2019, the intervening years have seen significant advancements in miniature cameras, wearable sensor integration, and edge AI processing. These developments make it easier and more powerful to combine real-time imaging with precise physical measurements for automated inspection or data collection directly from a user's hand.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom housing, camera, sensors, electronics, software.
