What is still missing is a good interface. Not this sticks with buttons, something that allows comfortable control and feels like a keyboard without requiring constant tension to hold.
It should be like a glove, with the fingertips as selector and the other fingersegments as keys. Thumb to tip is a-e, thumb to indexfinger segments up is systemkeys (sorted by need to avoid difficult to reach segments as being quertyfied.
Thumb to third indexfinger segment (with indexfinger pointed) is click at a object.
The Palm could work as a sort of gesture-touchpad, for more complicated (cross-hand) keycombos.
How to implement? Well as a prototype- take a latex glove, glue short range rfid chips to the segments and rfid readers to the fingertips.
The rest is history as they say.
- Pica_soO 9y agoThought about it- the select (leftclick on the mouse) should be the most natural point to something gesture, so its indexfinger pointing and thumb-tip touching the midfinger-tip. Also RFID is not bad for precise measurements. Problem is haptics, selection safety (visual display in AR, and user-comfort. Any glovelike device (even if its just a fishing net of cables and sensor) will feel uncomfortable after a while).. The good thing is there are really a lot of comfortable combos possible with just the fingertips touching one another.
