Not just any ordinary pair of gloves, the Atlas Gloves by Dan Phiffer and Mushon Zer-Aviv at the ITP New York University, is a DIY physical interface developed to control 3D map applications. The illuminating pair of gloves is a user interface which detects intuitive hand gestures like grabbing, pulling, reaching and rotating. Besides being used for controlling 3D map apps like Google Earth, the Gloves’ software is hackable and can be modified to act as a input device, a mouse if u may. Hooking a web cam to a computer is good enough to help identify the gloves’ LED-enabled gesture, which help in controlling wide range of computer applications and maps of course.
