Pinch is a
remarkable new system for interacting with 3D simulation. This pair of
stretch-fabric gloves contain sensors in each fingertip which detect contact
between the digits of your hand. You can use these gestures for a wide range of
control and interactive functions customized to your specifications. Any
combination of single or multiple contacts between two or more digits can be
programmed to have specific meanings, ranging from simple on/off to multi-part,
multi-action commands. The gestures are not dependent on individual hand
geometry - the Pinch never requires calibration.
No complicated gesture recognition algorithms are required, so it is easy to
integrate the Pinch into your driving and flight simulators, interactive 3D
video games or any application that requires a wide range of tactile gestures.
Whether you are a developer or a user of immersive visualization applications,
the Pinch glove gives you an easier and effective way to interact with virtual
environments.
