The Empathy Glove is a product created to help users experience what it's like to have a physical disability by limiting their hand and finger movements. It uses sensors and actuators to impose restrictions that simulate conditions like arthritis. The goal is to use critical making and experiential learning to help increase empathy, accessibility, and inclusion for those with disabilities.
