MIT Glove Mouse

[ashsan06]

All you asshole slamming them for this needs to realize that they built this for a class in less than a month. What have you losers done with you life?

[fulopkovacs]

Thats cool. But how do you masturbate with that?

[lilmrock4456]

one hand + fps game + fake trigger for clicking on = win!

[akaMAGIC09]

Interesting idea however it's better if your hands are resting on some surface rather than keeping them up in the air.

[murderscene4198]

hey hey hey lets get a kinect.....

[tcadroas]

This isn;t exactl what I imagined. :/

[chameer4th]

very cool! yet very simple!

keep up the great work!

sure there are many barriers but at least your work is not only on some scientific papers but on YOUTUBE so people can see it working!!

[carlosanzola]

This technology es very old .....Is better without gloves and without cameras... Look This video... you search this : "Inter-Screen"

[carlosanzola]

This technology es very old .....Is better without gloves and without cameras... Look This video...

[djinnov8]

To the boys from MIT, there are so many people that do nothing with their lives but try to bring down the efforts of others ...keep doing your thing and you will hit the jackpoint!!!

[UL439]

I was working with gloves like those back in 1993!!!! The truth is, I have seen millions of "revolutionary" haptic devices and concepts, but no one can use them. This is yet another failure, I have developed an eye for this kind of stuff. The only things that work are the simplest ones.

Furthermore, either optical (such as this one) or electromagnetic trackers will give you a lot of wobbling no matter how you filter the results, providing a great sense of approximation.

[omfg191]

This would be awesome is they could use this for FPS gaming...

[Cloude888]

@omfg191 will get kinda tiring laying it for hours lol

[ArtKnightDude]

They will get deals very soon...

[llieske]

what's all this talk of "fatigue"? you could just keep your arms rested on the table, use one hand and it's no different than a mouse.

anyway it's pretty lame they don't demonstrate how you could use it for practical stuff like prowsing, instead of just randomly moving around on a map

[frvfilms]

for the wiii

[frvfilms]

@frvfilms now if only all the companies would invest time and money into these types of ideas , it would make us happy

[p2pjoe]

really cool.

[fugitmonkey]

Not practical, peoples arms will become fatigued, better use would be for full body video games.

[y0u73b3r9]

@fugitmonkey

it would tone your arms though, that's a plus lol, if it was advertised like that more people would buy it

and if anything, you could probably keep your hand on the table and just move your arm like you would with a mouse

[llieske]

@fugitmonkey  it's called Natal

[sxpacks]

ps3 move uses a similar concept. Use a camera to track two LEDS. They didn't mention how they were picking up the button presses

[Maggot666PL]

@sxpacks They did. Contact points on fingertips, data transfered via radio.

[sxpacks]

@Maggot666PL They send the signal through the radio, but did say how they generate the signal...i.e do they press a button on the finger tips? Or does covering the light trigger a button press? or are there contact points on each one of the finger tips

[sfplayer911]

Whats the song at the end?

[getnasty08]

I'm actually so surprised that this had not been built before now, I thought these existed for years. Well done lads!

[y0u73b3r9]

@getnasty08

I saw something similar a little over a year ago, made by someone also from MIT, that's like a portable version. Google "TED Talks" and there's a video of it somewhere on that website

[majorghn]

When you MIT guys going to build a holodeck like on Star TreK and also show the people at EA Games how to add peripheral vision to their games?

[VicentiuB]

wow i love this glove !!!!!!!!! amazing for all aplication from Windows 7 of my computer who connected to my 52" Samsung TV 1080P .

I like it so much , much easy like traditional mouse , and real speed booster to move on windows surface ! and it all movement are natural directly with hand ,

no more fucki'n mouse ( from 1956 technology ) and this GLOVE system are much easy like touch screen too !

[VicentiuB]

When you starting selling this 2 GLOVE MOUSE + Windows drivers to installing on computer ?

The drivers comming with this 2 GLOVE MOUSE must be support any webcam people have already , or you can selling on your website a Complete KIT :

[VicentiuB]

2 GLOVE MOUSE for WINDOWS with Webcam and tripod ( and sure , drivers and incling wireless transmiter /receiver to install on Windows/Mac .

Let me ask somethink , why you develop the receiver\trasmiter based on WIRELESS RADIO technology ??? Why not BLUETOOTH ?

[VicentiuB]

I think the most easy and cheap reciver/transmiter who you can include on your MIT GLOVE MOSE are BLUETOOTH digital interface , this is so easy tand cheap to find bluetooth

interface transmiter/receiver and now all computers have BLUETOOTH hardware on motherboard , if not you can buying a bluetooth receiver for a cheap 2$ on EBAY

[mnagmobile1]

actually ps3 move can capture just like natal..

[mariodias31]

thanks for sharing that

I'm doing elec eng too

[splattt3]

OMG!!! Better slap a patent on that thing before APPLE steals it and slaps a patent on "their invention" then sues you for patent infringement.

[davidmartin7777]

Google, "More CNN using Perceptive Pixel" on youtube.

No special gloves, no camera not special chip and much cooler to use.

[kaiz0099]

get ready for an Apple sponsor lol...

[drive83]

CamSpace was there since 2008...

and actually for free, without any gloves or radio transmitters.

[yaronimus1]

i would suggest that the screen be placed horisontaly flat or slightly angled on a desk, thus not causing fatigue.

[yaronimus1]

this is really AMAZING. for years i have been waiting for a solution like that. i am a graphic designer from israel, and i always wondered how would it be to control the interface directly with my hands through softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. this would really regain the lost personal touch of the designer to the designs now controlled by computered mouse which is hardly a substitute.

(to be continued:)

[mnagmobile1]

PS3 does this already without gloves.

[Bierm0n]

@mnagmobile1

OMG, Ps3 isn't the same. Microsofts Natal is the same with out gloves...

[mea302]

Isn't there a Disney Channel movie from the late 90's about this same concept??

[larryrael]

Nice concept. Music is way too loud compared with the speaking, it made me have to put the volume up and down all the time!

[iSOBigD]

Very cool. The Wii, PS3 and now Xbox 360 all made similar things using different techniques, so I think it'll definitely become more common in the near-future.

I don't see it replacing an actual mouse since your arms would get tired pretty fast if you used this 40 hours a week...but it's still cool!

[kaiz0099]

@iSOBigD id prefer this method that way only the strong truely get what they deserve lol. Plus obesity could be shortened by 1% lmao....

[iSOBigD]

@kaiz0099 Heheheh...man, the day only the strong and fit may use computers will be hilarious.

[Chopsmetal]

It is the same technology (principle) used by Playstation Move, well done!

[rhoa23]

I would love to see this used in an operating system.

[CaptainUkraine]

why they dont use google earth?

[tugfngjfuvj]

Incredible Work!

5/5 and favored!

[Wendsche]

Niceeee. I hope for you that youll have much success with that ;)

[PhaZZed]

Incredible, well done!

[Welocy]

Now we can truly play air guitar!

[paulmooij]

Nice project
