Rationale: The average human can apply 35N (~7.9lbf) of force with one finger. To replicate physical solid touch, the motors must be able to overpower the fingers within a set range of forces.

Rationale: Similar solutions such as the Meta Quest 2’s hand tracking have an accuracy of 1.1cm and a rotation accuracy of ~10 degrees. Medical practices require precision, thus the product shall have less margin of error than comparable market products.

Rationale: The solution cannot get too hot to prevent uncomfortable heat for the user. Additionally, corrosion and water resistance should be added to ensure excessive dust or sweat does not compromise the functionality of the solution, helping to prolong product lifespan.

Rationale: Practice surgery sessions can take many hours, and a lightweight solution allows for more natural and unobtrusive usage. Market solutions such as the HaptX Gloves G1 weigh 450g, hence a comparable yet lighter weight is best.
