Characterization of a novel data glove based on textile integrated sensors
Abstract: The present work is about the realization and the characterization of a novel data glove able to detect hand kinematic configurations. The sensing glove has been realized by directly integrate sensors in the fabric used to manufacture the glove. Main specifications for the realized device are lightness, wearability and user comfort. As a fundamental requirement to address this purpose we have estimated the employment of a material which does not substantially change the mechanical properties of the fabric and maintains the wearability of the garment. To obtain this result, we have integrated sensor networks made by conductive elastomer into an elastic fabric used to manufacture the sensing glove. Electrically conductive elastomer composites show piezoresistive properties when a deformation is applied. Conductive elastomers materials can be applied to fabric or to other flexible substrate and they can be employed as strain sensors. To validate the realized device, a function that relates glove sensor values to hand motion has been realized and tested.

A stretchable carbon nanotube strain sensor for human-motion detection
Abstract: This study presents a novel flexible strain sensor for real-time strain sensing.
The material for strain sensing is single-walled carbon nanonets, grown using the alcohol
catalytic chemical vapor deposition method, that were encapsulated between two layers of
Parylene-C, with a polyimide layer as the sensing surface.

CAIP’s Optical Data Glove
CAIP’s force feedback transducers for a data glove are single-axis pneumatic thrusters, capable of sensing finger force or, conversely, of applying programmed force sequences to the hand. Joint motion is sensed by optical fibers in the glove, and hand position is measured magnetically by the Polhemus sensor.

Looks like a profound lookup on that topic. Very useful, thanks for sharing!
Hi dear inventors and artists,
nice to see this great compilation!
Since 2011 here at UNI-Bielefeld we also investigating in the development of data-gloves.
If you like, you can add us to the list.
At the moment, we did not realize a special presentation on web, but actually one papers is buzzing around.
http://autonomous-learning.org/wp-content/uploads/haschke3.pdf
hmm, there should be one with the hole glove, perhaps the publication is not complete jet.
Here is a short clip:
http://www.youtube.com/user/citecbielefeld
to find under Tactile dataglove with fabric-based sensors.
With inspiration from the Tactile Fingertips Glove by Hannah, the most work on the Glove was done during my diploma thesis, also therein is the comprehensive list of quotations.
Actual we are investigating in a durable and flexible coating of the sensor patches. During longer use, on one hand, we had the problem that sweat influences the sensitivity. On the other hand, the silvered fabric we use corrodes over the time by touching.
Next week is a trade fair on technical Textiles in Frankfurt am Main..
http://techtextil.messefrankfurt.com/frankfurt/en/besucher/willkommen.html
.. If I get permission, I may will meet Dr. Jamshid Avloni form Eeonyx there at his exhibition booth.
I would love to hear about you.
Best regards,
Gereon
There has been the sensor glove STEIM developped for Franziska Baumann some years ago. Still in the line of “open cables look hightec-y and futuristic” esthetics

Great list ! Looks like our TouchGlove should be in it as well (http://infusionsystems.com/touchglove), available since 1995 ! I also did some work on gloves before that: http://xspasm.com/x/sfu/vmi/PCVR.html (and more before that .. in 1988) but not sure if that’s relevant. Cheers, Axel
