Data Glove
Also known as: digital glove, sensor glove, wired glove
A wearable input device equipped with sensors to capture hand and finger movements, positions, and orientations. Data gloves use technologies like gyroscopes, accelerometers, flex sensors, or fiber optics to track hand gestures. In accessibility, data gloves enable sign language recognition systems by capturing the precise hand movements used in signing, potentially allowing real-time translation between sign language and text or speech.
