Whoever said expressions are very powerful couldn’t have been more right. Although the context was different then, the conviction remains as strong as ever; which explains why the Gesture Jam has created quite a buzz around techie circles. The controller device has been designed on the lines of your ubiquitous mouse or keyboard. However, the manner in which the output is generated is the primary subject of curiosity. Purportedly, this cutting-edge glove controller can translate human expressions into computer output such as images, sound or video. Sensors line up the interior to collect the core input data, which is then used to drive applications like music manipulation, DJ-ing, VJ-ing, photo editing and so on. The conversion is taken care of by the glove software.
The Gesture Jam glove works on the principle of philanxes. A powerful microcontroller translates the data collated from all the angles of the philanxes and transmits them over air. Expressions ranging from harsh to subtle are identified and translated for end application output. The way this technology is heading, we can be quite sure that expression-based control will someday hold center-stage. And the Gesture Jam is certainly a giant step taken in this direction.
