We’ve released an open-source ROS 2 bridge for the Rokoko Device SDK. It takes solved hand data from Smartgloves II and publishes it natively into ROS 2.

What’s included:

26-joint hand poses per solved frame, in OpenXR XrHandJointEXT order.
TF transforms, one per joint (opt-in).
RViz visualization of the hand skeleton (opt-in).
Per-hand diagnostics on /diagnostics, once a second.
A calibrate service to set which direction is “forward”.
One launch command starts the driver, hand solver and bridge together.
One left and one right glove are supported at a time.

Requirements: ROS 2 Lyrical Luth and Rokoko Device SDK 0.10.0 or newer.
