The P5 is an innovative, glove-like peripheral device, based upon proprietary bend sensor and remote tracking technologies that provides users total intuitive interaction with 3D and virtual environments, such as games, websites and educational software and for virtual reality environment. A magnetic tracking device or inertial tracking device is there to track the global position and the rotation data of the glove. This location data is passed to the software of the glove to accompany. Different gestures have different respective information. “Data gloves” or “Cyber gloves” are often referred as “wired gloves” and vice versa. Brandish a mighty sword in a video game, walk through an online room, or pick up objects on screen – with the power of P5 in your hands, you can fully harness the potential of today’s lifelike 3D and virtual gaming environments like never before, simply you can completely visualize three dimensional environments. These days, wired gloves are available in beautiful and easy to use designs like Shape Hand.

History

The first wired glove was created by “Electronic Visualization Laboratory”. After the first invention of the wired glove, in 1982 optical flex sensors were mounted in the glove in order to measure finger bending. After this Ultrasonic and Magnetic technologies are used to track the motion of the glove. P5 glove was released in 2002, it works as 3D mouse. Flexible optical-bending sensing technology is used to track hand and arm movement by Fifth dimension technologies. Using ultrasonic technology this glove can track the movement in the range of two meters.
