What (who) is data glove - definition

INPUT DEVICE FOR HUMAN–COMPUTER INTERACTION

5th Glove; 5th glove; Fifth glove; Fifth Glove; Cyberglove; Data glove; Dataglove; P5 glove; P5 Glove; Haptic glove; VR Glove; Tactile glove; Thomas G. Zimmerman; Wired gloves; DataGlove

data glove

<hardware, virtual reality> An input device for {virtual reality} in the form of a glove which measures the movements of the wearer's fingers and transmits them to the computer. Sophisticated data gloves also measure movement of the wrist and elbow. A data glove may also contain control buttons or act as an output device, e.g. vibrating under control of the computer. The user usually sees a virtual image of the data glove and can point or grip and push objects. Examples are Fifth Dimension Technologies (5DT)'s {5th Glove}, and Virtual Technologies' CyberGlove. A cheaper alternative is InWorld VR's CyberWand. ["Full freedom plus input", PC Magazine, Mar 14 1995, pp. 168-190]. [Inventor?] (1995-04-04)

CyberGlove

<hardware, virtual reality> A data glove sold by {Virtual Technologies}. The spandex-like glove houses 18 sensors to track accurately just about every move your hand is capable of making. The accompanying software includes a three-dimensional hand model that can he added to any {virtual reality} application. The glove includes a mount for Polhemus and Ascension sensors. (2003-06-17)

5th Glove

<hardware, virtual reality> A data glove and flexor strip kit (5th Glove DFK) sold by Fifth Dimension Technologies for $495 ($345 for the left-handed version, $45 for each extra flexor strip). The DFK provides a data glove, a flexon strip (with an elbow or knee-joint sensor), an interface card, cables, and KineMusica software. The package uses flexible optical-bending sensing to track hand and arm movement. The glove can be used with 5DT's ultrasonic tracking system, the 5DT Head and Hand tracker ($245), which can track movement from up to two metres away from the unit's transmitter. (1998-02-06)

Wired glove

A wired glove (also called a dataglove or cyberglove) is an input device for human–computer interaction worn like a glove.

Various sensor technologies are used to capture physical data such as bending of fingers. Often a motion tracker, such as a magnetic tracking device or inertial tracking device, is attached to capture the global position/rotation data of the glove. These movements are then interpreted by the software that accompanies the glove, so any one movement can mean any number of things. Gestures can then be categorized into useful information, such as to recognize sign language or other symbolic functions.

Expensive high-end wired gloves can also provide haptic feedback, which is a simulation of the sense of touch. This allows a wired glove to also be used as an output device. Traditionally, wired gloves have only been available at a huge cost, with the finger bend sensors and the tracking device having to be bought separately.

Wired gloves are often used in virtual reality environments and to mimic human hand movement by robots.
