Neftaly Gloves — developed for robotic goalkeeper training simulations
Neftaly Gloves are next-gen smart goalkeeper gloves engineered to plug directly into robotic ball launchers and VR/AR training suites. They capture every micro-interaction—contact point, grip pressure, hand speed, and wrist angle—then stream it in real time to your simulation so drills adapt instantly to the keeper’s technique.
Why it’s different
- True contact intelligence: Distributed force and capacitive touch sensors map saves across palm and fingers with millisecond precision.
- Motion-perfect tracking: Dual IMUs per hand (palm + wrist) measure orientation, acceleration, and follow-through for biomechanical analysis.
- Adaptive simulations: Live telemetry feeds your robot/engine, auto-tuning ball speed, spin, and placement based on the keeper’s recent save quality.
- Haptic coaching: Micro-actuators deliver subtle cues (buzz, pulse, ramp) to correct hand shape, timing, and catch security without breaking flow.
- Latency built for drills: Sub-10 ms wireless link with edge processing so feedback lands before the next strike.
- Pro-safe design: Impact-damping backhand, breathable chassis, taping-friendly cut, and IP54 sweat/weather resistance.
Core metrics captured
- Contact location heatmaps
- Peak/avg grip force & time-to-secure
- Hand path, speed, and decel on impact
- Wrist set position and deviation
- Parry vs. catch classification & spill risk score
Training modes
- Clean-Catch Mode: Rewards secure takes; haptics nudge if palms aren’t behind the ball.
- Deflection Control: Targets angle and power of parries to safe zones.
- Reaction Burst: High-tempo launches; measures decision time and first-movement latency.
- Cross & Aerials: Tracks high-ball attack line and claim radius.
Integrations
- Robot launchers via open UDP/WebSocket API
- Unity/Unreal & common sports-science dashboards (CSV/JSON export)
- Bluetooth LE + Wi-Fi; local edge hub optional for multi-keeper sessions
Battery & build
- 6–8 hr active training per charge; USB-C fast charge (≈45 min)
- Replaceable sensor liners; latex palms in Match, Hybrid, and Wet-Grip variants
- Sizes 6–12; negative/hybrid cuts
Privacy & security
- On-device anonymization and session-scoped keys
- Coach/club ownership of data with role-based access controls
Who it’s for
Elite academies, pro clubs, and tech-forward goalkeeper schools running robotic launchers, VR scenarios, or high-rep data-driven sessions.
Tagline: Feel every save. Measure every millisecond. Train a smarter keeper.
