First Fully Programmable Gesture-Recognition Glove, Cheap
Al writes "The AcceleGlove from AnthroTronix, is the first fully programmable glove that records hand and finger movements. Other gloves — like 5DT's Data Glove, which is used primarily in virtual reality — normally cost $1,000 to $5,000, but the AcceleGlove costs just $499. The AcceleGlove comes with software that lets developers use Java to program it for any application they wish. AnthroTronix initially developed the glove with the US Department of Defense for robotic control but it could also be used in video games, sports training, or physical rehabilitation." -
Where Can you Purchase Data Glooves?
dev0 asks: "I have been spending some time looking for data gloves with no success - and I had been thinking they existed already. About the best things I have found so far are from Fifth Dimension Techonologies. However this does not seem to be bulk stuff. What I would like to do is to find something with open specs, and cheap price. One thing that I have been planning to do, is to do a virtual keyboard for my PDA. So that I can hit a real-size virtual keyboard in air and type faster. Who really needs to see the buttons? Hints, anyone?"
