Wireless Sensory Glove System developed for advanced Human Computer Interface

Abstract

Abstract Human Computer Interfaces (HCIs) support users to interact or simply control any kind of devices founded on machinery basis. Very simple and common interfaces are represented by mouse and keyboard by which a user interact with the personal computer “machine”. It is however evident how these tools can be particularly “limited” since they “act” only in a 2D superficial environment and cannot provide an immersive experience. So in the latter years new kind of interfaces have been investigated in order to expand the user capabilities in a 3D space, then increasing the realism degree too. In this paper we deal with a new kind of these interfaces. In fact we developed a sensory glove capable to measure all human hand Degree of Freedom (DoF), “translating” them into commands for personal computers. In particular we definedappropriate design rules, and treated details of the signal conditioning electronics surrounding the sensory glove to satisfy the requests of an efficient HCI system.
