GESTURE GLOVE

our gaming device is the wii gesture glove.

The funtion of the gesture glove is the same as the wii-mote with the addition of being able to recognise hand gestures.

The appearance is like a bracelet version of the wii-mote attached to a glove.

The gesture glove retains all funtion of the wii-mote including the buttons and the ability to add peripherals, yet gives the user the ability to control games with hand gestures.

but how does it work?

The wii gesture glove uses an infrared scan to capture the position of sensors in the knukles and fingertips of the glove.

The distance between these points is then calculated and used to identifiy whether the user if making a clear gesture.

For example when the user makes a fist, one of the defining features is the finger tips being as close as possible to the knukles, shown by the blue lines.

This combined with other features, such as the fore finger tip being between the fore finger knukle and thumb tip, are used to define the gesture as a fist.
