Only Prototype 4 is going to have force feedback.[1] Everything else is just some string pots for input. That's not a good way to do sensing, but if you have something that can pull on the strings, offers a way to apply forces to the hand. It looks like the plan is to mount five R/C servos on the wrist cuff. This is one of those projects for which you'd like OpenServo.[2] That was an old project to re-controller hobby R/C servos so that you could get force feedback and position feedback for robot use. It worked, but never became popular. [1] https://github.com/LucidVR/lucidgloves/releases/tag/Proto4 [2] https://hackaday.io/project/158267-openservo-20
