Abstract:
Smart gloves and methods for using smart gloves are provided. In embodiments of the disclosure, gloves are integrated with a display and controls in such a way as to allow a user to access and/or manipulate the controls using the same hand on which the user wears the glove. A user can thus access and/or control the glove and the content or information embodied therein while also accomplishing other tasks with his or her hands. Embodiments also comprise touch- and/or force-sensitive sensors, e.g. resistive or capacitive sensors, integrated into the glove that the user can access and/or manipulate with one or more fingers, preferably the thumb, of the hand on which the user wears the glove.
