As a follow up to my recent Power Glove Mouse I wanted to post some of the submissions I’ve been getting from others boasting the awesomeness of their own glove/mouse interfaces. The following is a rundown of my favorites.

1) Graspr - Designed by a group of Georgia Tech students, this device uses accelerometers to translate tilts of the hand into cusor movement. However, it wasn’t made out of an NES Power Glove . Another difference is that mine uses actual hand motion while theirs is controlled just by tilting the hand - the difference between using gyroscopes and accelerometers. I suppose that theirs wouldn’t tire the user as easily, though. It looks like they did a great job. The site even has video clips of the Graspr in action.

2) Airmouse - This was designed by students from Cornell University and, like the Graspr, uses accelerometers to control the motion. Thus, this is also a “tilt only” mouse but it’s still pretty smooth. Their site also has a very detailed explanation of the science involved and the process they used to construct the device.

3) Power Glove Wacom - Wow, this just blew me away. The amount of effort that went into this design simply boggles the mind. This project is only for the most gifted of circuit hackers; however, the sexiness of it should appeal to everyone. Check out the site to find out how Dean connected his PowerGlove with his Wacom tablet.
