KeyGlove Flips Traditional Touch Typing the Bird [Interactive]

There’s this scene in Children of guys where a zombified kid is playing a game using a VR harness and an interactive glove. He’s dead to the realm and it’s depressing. However it was science fiction, right? Not quite:

KeyGlove, seen here, is one-handed typing of the futuristic variety. Using a sequence of 34 sensors and an Arduino processor, the KeyGlove is somehow ready to decipher letters and numbers, in addition as move a cursor around the screen.

Designer Jeff Rowberg remains to be understanding the kinks, and it’s greatly a prototype (isn’t everything cool at the present time?), but this device, coupled with the very real Minority Report work being done at the MIT Media Lab, tells me our tuned out future isn’t that faraway.
