Power gloves Grønning Nielsen, who is graduating from the RCA’s Innovation Design Engineering course this year, created the Happaratus “power glove” to extend the capabilities of the hand as a sculpting tool. The tips of the glove’s thumb, index and middle fingers are each mounted with two abrasive pads. Powered by a hydraulic motor, these pads oscillate in opposite directions to carve away sections of material as the fingers caress it. The interchangeable pads can be made in various shapes and different materials depending on the surface they are working on.
