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.

Recently, the researches on the mobile computing technologies for palm computers, PDA´s and wearable computers became very active. In the development of mobile devices, one of the key technologies is the human interface. So, this paper suggests a new input device for PDA´s and wearable computers so-called key-glove. The design methods of key-glove are discussed in this paper and we manufactured the key-glove which recognizes that character is typed in though the hand´s movements analysis and is designed as an input device for wearable computers and virtual environment. Also, we are executes a performance test for alphanumeric data entry, command entry and X-Y pointer input. In the results, we are confirmed in its ...

Existing input devices for desktop computers are not suitable for wearable computers because they are neither easy to carry nor convenient to use in a mobile working environment. Different input devices for wearable computers must be developed. In this paper, a wireless glove-based input device for wearable computers is proposed. The proposed input device consists of a pair of chording gloves. Its keys are mounted on the fingers and their chording methods are similar to those of a Braille keyboard. RF (Radio Frequency) and IrDA (Infrared Data Association) modules are used to make the proposed input device wireless. Since the Braille representation for numbers and characters is efficient and has been well established for many languages in the world, the proposed input device may be one of good input devices to computers. Furthermore, since the Braille has been used for visually impaired people, the proposed one can be easily used as an input device to computers for them.

Recently, economic growth in the world has increased interest in healthy life, and the smart health care industry is growing. In the field of smart healthcare, wearable-type biometric information measurement technology has been highlighted due to the importance of IoT technology. The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable heart - rate monitoring system that can be applied to wearable health care and glove - type monitoring that enables convenient monitoring of heart rate during activity. For this purpose, a glove - type wearable health care system was developed and its performance was evaluated. Experimental results showed that the heartbeat monitoring was possible even in the presence of actual daily activities.

The wearable sensor glove was developed using EDA sensors and conducting fabric. EDA(Electro-dermal Activity) signal is an electric response of human skin. There are SIL(Skin Impedance Level) and SIR(Skin Impedance Response) in EDA. SIL consists mostly of a DC component while SIR consists of an AC component. The relationship between drowsiness and the EDA signal is utilized. EDA sensors were made using a conducting fabric instead of AgCl electrodes, for a more suitable, more wearable device. The EDA signal acquisition module was made by connecting the EDA sensor gloves through conductive fabric lines. Also, the EDA signal acquisition module can be connected to a PC that shows the results of the EDA signal processing analysis and gives proper feedback to the user. This system can be used in various applications to detect drowsiness and prevent accidents from drowsiness for automobile drivers.

In this paper, We introduce the glove mouse using a Gyroscope, acceleration sensor, Pin-type Viboratctile Display Device and USB HID. The device recognize a user's wrist by Gyroscope and acceleration sensor in the glove and transmit the data to USB dongle which is recognized the manufactured mouse by Blutooth. Also, using a special application, We transmit the tactile information to user through the Pin-type Vibrotactile Display. We implement wearable system in the glove except USB device. If user want to use general spatial mouse, we recognize mouse USB dongle only without another application. If user want to feel the tactile sensationn, we can use by connecting PC serial communication port to USB dongle.
