Dataglove in use

DataGlove is a hand-tracking 3D input device from VPL Research.

DataGlove was developed by Thomas Zimmerman and Jaron Lanier.

It was first produced for the development of the VIEW project at NASA Ames, and then commercialized after the VIEW system became public.[1]

It has a flex sensor on each finger, which measures how much each is bent.[2]

The absolute position sensors for the DataGlove was provided by Polhemus.[3]

The glove is basically a neoprene fabric glove with a Polhemus cube sensor mounted above the wrist to give hand position (after calibration) in 3D space.[4]
