Hi, I'm wanting to know how the Exos DHM measures the angle BETWEEN
the fingers, and the large number of positions the thumb can have.

I know it use Hall-Effect sensors to measure the flex of the fingers,
but how does it tell how wide they are spread out, and what their
position is?

Any help / ideas / comments much appreciated!

Thanks,


Geoff.
