SINGAPORE - At a work meeting, you flex your index finger in a horizontal direction to change a presentation slide to the next one on a screen metres away without using a keyboard or a remote clicker and you rotate your wrist to go back to previous slides when needed.
The wireless glove has highly sensitive microfibre sensors that are woven into the fabric, one for each finger. Finger and wrist gestures are mapped to various functions traditionally done with a keyboard or a gaming controller, such as the changing of presentation slides and the firing of weapons or moving of characters in video games.
Because of the lightweight and stretchable microfibre material the sensors are made of, the glove weighs just 40g compared with a game controller that weighs around 250g. Professor Lim, who is the director of the NUS Institute for Health Innovation and Technology, said the sensor technology was originally developed in 2017 for biomedical purposes such as measuring the pulse of a patient or bandage pressure.
The NUS team has so far mapped gestures to 11 inputs and commands for performing a variety of in-game actions usually accomplished by pressing buttons on regular game controllers such as the firing of weapons, and tested the glove on games such as first-person shooter title Battlefield V.
