Gloves with sensors and gyroscopes can be an effective replacement for the mouse and joystick in a wide variety of virtual reality applications: games, entertainment, training, training programs. At the end of May, the American company AnthroTronix released the world's first glove, which comes complete with open APIs, so that Java programmers can configure it to work with any application. For the AcceleGlove glove, you can invent absolutely any gesture and assign an action for it in any program. In addition, this manipulator is cheaper than competitors : it costs $ 500.
The photo shows all the programmable components of AcceleGlove: A - accelerometers on each finger; B - a microcircuit that receives a signal from accelerometers and exchanges data with a PC via USB (all "raw" data can be analyzed, for example, in Mathematica), from here the device receives power; C - the glove itself is made of breathable nylon, is suitable for all sizes of hands and allows you to write with a pen or type on the keyboard, even when the glove is on; D - hand movement sensor in space, consists of two bracelets: under the elbow and on the biceps.
The operation of the device can be seen in the video .
