Conductive fibers knit into the fingertip and palm areas. Making a fist closes the circuit and lights up the LED arrows on the backs of the hands. The conductive thread in the fingertips also enables gloves-on touchscreen use.

  • Why were a glove...

    when you can simply wave your bare hands in front of a camera? This is a wasted effort.

    Between semi-passive optical motion capture (like XBox Kinect) and the current crop of input devices, this has no placement.

    Semi-passive optical motion capture will only get better, they should be working on that instead.

  • Gadget gloves - Useless

    I cannot see a practical use for these gadget gloves. Virtual reality gloves with the iwear VR920 eyepiece is a much better solution.
