MIT student develops psychedelic 3D gloves for better gesture based applications

Gesture based technology just took a turn down ugly street with MIT student’s ultra colorful Lycra glove control option. Robert Wang the psychedelic student from the renowned educational facility along with his faculty adviser Jovan Popovićt are the designers of this colorful project. The various color sections on the gloves allow for a full range of hand gestures to be recognized by the corresponding computer system. It also enables the system to better recognize your hands as 3D shapes. A Webcam is used to capture picture of the gloves; a software recognizes and translates the color patterns and compares the patterns to a database of hand gestures. After finding a match, it generates a virtual 3-D model. It may be quite technical but it’s certainly quite colorful as well.
