I think i will work on learning java in a few months, in the meantime i am doing ASM, c++ and maybe I will just learn some Visual Basic since it is very close to TI-basic .

lol, the first "cemetech labs" product.
Joking aside, you just may be right. For copyright reasons, I'll be releasing more details when I make a working first prototype.
I estimate around 17 sensors (joints of you hand etc.) and then a small area that is rather bulky due to a transmitter .
Here's a hint: One more piece, and I'll be able to finish assembling my first prototype. I can already type using it...
So far, these are the materials I have purchased:
>(1) pair gloves: $0.99
>(3) dozen sets of 4/0000 snaps: 3x$2.00 = $6.00
>(1) dozen set of 3/0 snaps: $2.00
>Ribbon cabling (from old computers): $0.00
>PS/2 keyboard (from old computer): $0.00
>Misc plastic (from CD case): $0.00
>Epoxy, wire strippers, pliers, needles, thread (already had): $0.00
------------
Total: $8.99

Have I mentioned that it works perfectly so far, for the pieces I have wired up? And also, I found a way to map the keys exactly as I need them.
I still have no idea what it is (aside from it being some sort of glove with sensors), as I missed whatever was happening before this topic was split....
A dataglove is any piece of wearable computing input hardware controlled by the hand(s). My particular implementation will eventually use the driver PCB from a wireless USB keyboard to control both keyboard and mouse functions. My first prototype is intended as a proof-of-concept with a wired PS/2 keyboard PCB, omitting the mouse functionality.

cool idea Kerm, I hope it works
Thanks, same here. At this point my biggest challenge is making sure you don't have to be doublejointed to hit all the keys.
It's actually a light cotton glove, so it's surprisingly cool to wear. So far heat hasn't been a problem, even though it's been warm around in NYC.
