Glove Mouse

(... formerly, the "Video-Acquisition Multi-Touch Controller")


The Glove Mouse is a former 6.111 [digital electronics lab] project by Tony Hyun Kim (EECS '09) and Nevada Sanchez (EECS '10), in which we demonstrated intuitive control of a map application using only one's hands.

We liked the project so much, that we kept it alive during our free time even after the class. Most recently, we upgraded the gloves with wireless transmitters in March 2010.

Thanks for coming to our site. Below, you can see a video of the Glove Mouse in action, as well as some photos. You can also access all technical documents pertaining to the project -- including part numbers and suppliers -- at the bottom of the page.

Higher-quality video also available!
