Probably the world's most widely used virtual
Allows users to 'pinch' and 'grab' virtual objects or initiate action. Each finger can be programmed to generate different actions. Users can
program as many functions as can be remembered. The PINCH Glove System provides a reliable, low cost method of recognizing natural gestures.
The PINCH System uses cloth gloves with electrical
sensors in each fingertip. Contact between any two
or more digits completes a conductive path, and a
complex variety of "pinch" gestures can be programmed
into applications. A pinching gesture can be used to
grab a virtual object and a finger snap can be used to
initiate an action.
The System includes a pair of gloves, tracker mounts,
interface electronics, user's guide, and software.
The standard RS-232 serial interface allows the
PINCH to be used with virtually any workstation or PC.
