Phone-native hand measurement · Patent pending

A hand, measured to the millimeter — from one phone capture.

GloveIQ turns a 30-second iPhone capture into true metric hand dimensions — no ruler, no reference card — then maps them to your size chart and your cut files. The measurement layer for the brands and cutting systems that make custom athletic gloves.

The problem

Athletic gloves are sized on one number. Hands have twenty.

Standard sizing uses hand length, in quarter-inch steps. Real hands vary across more than twenty dimensions — so most people are fitting to a measurement that was never quite theirs.

How it works

Capture to cut file, in three steps.

A pure-software pipeline. No new hardware on either side — the phone in the customer's hand, the cutting system already on your floor.

01 / Capture

A 30-second session

On an ordinary iPhone. Front TrueDepth camera, two guided hand poses. No paper, no markers, no coin in frame.

02 / Measure

True metric dimensions

Apple Vision finds 21 hand landmarks; the depth sensor supplies real scale directly. Validated to within 2% of a tape measure on hand length.

03 / Cut file

Manufacturing-ready output

Dimensions map onto your grading rules and emit a cut file — AccuMark MTM CSV or DXF-AAMA, format-neutral by design.

Why it's different

Most camera sizers need a ruler. This one needs a phone.

Earlier camera-based glove sizers either make the user place a hand on paper to recover scale, or lock you into one catalog and spit out a coarse size letter. Depth-native measurement does neither.

No reference object

The depth sensor supplies true scale on its own. No paper sheet, no reference card, no coin in frame to fake the math.

Brand-agnostic

It outputs precise millimeters and maps them onto your size chart — with a calibration layer that respects how you already size.

Built for manufacturing

Not a size letter — a cut file. Format-neutral across the major cutting systems, so it drops into the floor you already run.

Who it's for

A measurement layer, licensed two ways.

Black Hills keeps the IP. You get exclusive use where it matters to you — both paths run on the same patent-pending core.

For glove brands

A custom-fit program in your name

Category-exclusive licensing, one brand per sport. You own the customer, the experience and the pricing; GloveIQ supplies measurement, glove-specific grading, and cutting-system integration.

  • Minimum guarantee + per-order royalty
  • Exclusive within your sport
  • You keep the customer relationship
For cutting-system vendors

The glove grading layer your stack is missing

Phone capture to DXF/AAMA, ready for your made-to-measure workflow and your installed base of athletic-glove factories — no glove-specific R&D on your side.

  • Integration fee + per-seat or per-order
  • Drops into existing MTM workflows
  • Format-neutral, vendor-independent claims
