More Technology covetation
The 22-sensor model has three flexion sensors per finger, four abduction sensors, a palm-arch sensor, and sensors to measure flexion and abduction. Each sensor is extremely thin and flexible being virtually undetectable in the lightweight elastic glove.
The basic CyberGlove II system includes one data glove, two batteries, a battery charger, and a USB/Bluetooth technology adaptor with drivers.
Many applications require measurement of the position and orientation of the forearm in space. To accomplish this, mounting provisions for InterSense, Polhemus, and Ascension six degrees of freedom (DOF) tracking sensors are available for the glove wristband. Tracking sensors are not included in the basic CyberGlove II system, but are available as an option and supported in VirtualHand software.
I love the power glove. It’s so bad!
thunder ftw!
thunder ftw!
Dammit! I was going to use that line!
*plots to use the megaforce to destroy your power glove*

WOW! that is so unbelievably cool!!!
ummm
… what does it…uh, you know… do? exactly?
It measures and exports information about what your hand is doing, including, optionally, forearm orientation. It is a very expensive step toward the equivalent of a direct-x compatible input device that would allow intuitive control of software packages.
I have this vision in my head of wearing “eyephones” and having a photoshop tool where I have a collection of photos in a 3-d environment, pulling one forward, using two hands to select the parts I want, and using gestures or buttons to add filters or other functions. The concept makes me weep for joy. If I had a few extra hundred grand, I would make it happen and mass distribute it, simply because I wanted to see it become standard.

It’s one step closer to a Johnny Mnemonic version of the computer/internet.
The problem isn’t the hardware. The problem is the interface, the one no one has created.

and by interface I mean the environment, if you will.
Is the hardware side of that actually within the realm of our current level of technology?! I remember seeing it in that movie and wondering how long it was take to make.
Excellent movie, by the way.
The hardware side is easy. Expensive, generally speaking, but easy.

Is it bad that I can’t stop relating things back to signing?
But seriously – the possibilities!

That’s neat, but I don’t get it. *slaps forehead with both hands*
