What do you get when combining a wetsuit glove, resistors, a gyroscope, and an Arduino?

A hand-made VR controller allowing user gesture input.

  • Built with Arduino, APL, C#, Unity, some flexible resistors, a wetsuit glove, and a gyroscope.
  • User hand gestures were picked up through an Arduino then interfaced to a PC running Unity.
  • Hand gestures and finger movement could then be used to play a demo videogame.
  • Also made glove usable as a mouse replacement within the game’s menus – users could ‘click’ by bending their index finger.
