ABSTRACT:
A glove-like apparatus mounted on a user's hand to control the cursor movement and to click for providing functions of a computer mouse. The apparatus has a glove-like body with multiple finger tubes. A tilt sensor is mounted on the glove metacarpus, of which the roll angle of the hand is detected to determine the moving orientation of the cursor. Two pairs of bending sensors are mounted on the thumb tube and the index finger tube, each pair of the sensors is used to detect a bending angle of the corresponding finger. The bending of the thumb or the index finger at a time is used to move the cursor in the negative or the positive direction along the located orientation line. The data glove for cursor control is operated as a virtual mouse with a virtual tracking ball.
