Stretch-sensing glove captures interactive hand poses accurately

Capturing interactive hand poses in real time and with realistic results is a well-examined problem in computing, particularly human-centered computing and motion capture technology. Human hands are complex—an intricate system of flexors, extensors, and sensory capabilities serving as our primary means to manipulate physical objects and communicate with one another. The accurate motion capture of hands is relevant and important for many applications, such as gaming, augmented and virtual reality domains, robotics, and the biomedical industries.
