Abstract

Recently, Wearable Computers have been applied to medical equipments, inspection system, military and various fields of industries. To support the various application of wearable computer, many researches into the input device for wearable computer have been executed. This paper describes the glove-like hand input system for wearable computer. the characteristics of sensed values, and coupling effects between each sensor. Using these characteristics and coupling effects, the general relation between flexion angles of joints and the values from sensors are proposed as exponential functions. Also, the error range of sensed values is proposed and the glove-like hand input system is calibrated as well by the experiments.
