Clove 2 Bluetooth Dataglove For One-Handed Typing

Posted by timothy on from the perhaps-not-best-for-motorcyclists dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Clove 2 is a bluetooth dataglove used for one-handed typing. It uses a 31-combination finger-chording design with three modes to allow every key on a standard keyboard to be typed with minimal effort. The bluetooth functionality removes the need to tether it to a computer, and since it profiles as a standard HID Keyboard, a simple translation layer to perform key remapping, sticky modifiers, and mode switching is the only software required. It consists of three components: the glove itself, the bluetooth module, and a custom charger for the Bluetooth module. Video, pictures, and full plans and schematics on the project page." From that page: "Please be advised that the Clove 2 Bluetooth Dataglove is a personal project, not a commercial offering." I hope that gets corrected at some point!

    Hey guys these devices have been around for a while. See Steve Mann's DIY septambic keyer project. More info on keyers.

    Do any of you remember the Nintendo powerglove? Now that was the pinnacle of interface design IMHO!!!
