Clove 2: Cemetech Bluetooth Dataglove

Clove 2 is a bluetooth dataglove used for one-handed typing. It uses a 31-combination finger chording design with three modes to allow every key on a standard keyboard to be typed with minimal effort. The bluetooth functionality removes the need to tether it to a computer, and since it profile as a standard HID Keyboard, a simple translation layer to perform key remapping, sticky modifiers, and mode switching is the only software required. It consists of three components, the glove itself, the bluetooth module, and a custom charger for the Bluetooth module.

Thanks for the post, can you tell me what is your BT module (where to buy / cost) thank you

[KermMartian]

@reginr If you check out the writeup, you'll see that I pulled it from a Dell BT keyboard.

OMG i can write 10000000000000x tymes faster with my laptop qwerty keyboard than this $#*!%$ glove...

[KermMartian]

Not well enough to spell "I" or "times", though, apparently.

My hand's getting tired just from watching this. Nice idea though.

[RedCt]

Song would be "Clocks" by Coldplay.

@MacerXGP Also, if I had one hand, I would still be accurate. 91%. Not as good as two handed.

[MacerXGP]

@jjovereats You still have two hands though.

[jjovereats]

@shigalbigal Oh my god I can type 100% more accurately than you with my desktop qwerty.

Or... you could memorize ascii values and use a simple switch to tap out each 7-bit character...might be quicker than what we're watching here.

Great for fapping in cyber chat rooms, fap + cyber and smoke some weed with the other hand. /end sarcasm

[SailorBarsoom]

Interesting, but it might be better to take a glove that can do a lot of stuff and add this as an additional capability.

I'm new to this stuff though, and maybe that isn't as good an idea as it seems to me.

I certainly think you're onto something here (check out views!) I've been thinking something along these lines but with pressure sensitive switches in the pads of the fingers so you can use your desk, knee cellphone etc. to press against. This would allow for chording (such as the Mircowriting system) and open up the potential for significant speeds. It could then be a 'skeletal' glove with just enough to keep the pads in place.

No time to do this myself but would love a quicker way to SMS!
