Dataglove in use

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

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]
