Rokoko Smartgloves
Rokoko introduced Smartgloves as an accessible hand- and finger-tracking option for motion-capture workflows. Recorded gestures could be transferred to digital characters, giving game-development and VFX teams a way to add finger animation without relying entirely on manual keyframing.
The gloves joined Rokoko’s wider ecosystem, including Smartsuit Pro, Rokoko Studio and the Rokoko Motion Library.
Pricing and Availability
At publication, Rokoko listed Smartgloves at US$895 during a preorder period ending 21 October 2020, followed by a regular price of US$995. Educational institutions could request a ten-percent discount. Those historical prices may no longer apply.
Teams should test finger occlusion, calibration drift and retargeting quality with representative performances before adopting any glove-based capture system.
