    This paper presents the Pinch Sensor, an elastic input device to sense the fine motion and pinch force of the index finger and thumb - the two most used digits of human hands for in-hand object manipulation skills. In addition to open and close, the device would allow a user to control a robotic or simulated two-finger hand to reorient an object in three different ways and their combinations. A unique design of elastic sensing provides the users a high degree of perception resolution, as well as the sensation of holding an object with a certain level of stiffness between the index finger and thumb. These characteristics help the users to fine control the pinch force while carrying out manipulation skills. The design features a small size that allows it to be integrated to a handheld controller. Commonly available off-the-shelf components for consumer electronics are used to achieve affordability and reliability.
