Could it have been this: http://acm.org/sigchi/chi97/proceedings/paper/fkm.htm ? They had one design connected by wires, and another coupled through the body. Both involved having a lot of stuff mounted on your hands. You could also use a P5 glove or NES PowerGlove as a source of resistive bend sensors, and then have a microcontroller detect finger flexion. Mircea did this, for gesture recognition: https://securehost34.hrwebservices.net/~magefor/cgi-bin/view/Main/TechnomageGloves For a really cheap system, there's the keyglove, from http://www.eyetap.org/wearable/keyglove.html or http://www.wirejunkie.com/resources/wearable/keyglove/, but if you don't add an off switch, you may find that grabbing a metal railing types "rm *". These previous two approaches mean that you will be wearing gloves whenever you wear your wearable. This may make some people uncomfortable, as it removes the bodily contact of a handshake, evokes clinical connotations (rubber gloves), or invites comparison to the King of Pop (Michael Jackson). > > I'm can't remember if that specifc device was ever > > commercially produced, but I'm sure at least something similar has > > been. I don't think the one I linked above was ever commercialized. _______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing listhttp://www.haven.org/mailman/listinfo/wear-hard
