Attempts at making a glove into a communication device for the deaf have been going on for years now, but a group of undergraduate computer engineering students at Carnegie Melon have come up with what has to be the most practical design to date. The main difference being that it translates sign messages through a cellphone as opposed to a bulky computer. And the best part is that the device uses fairly inexpensive materials to work its magic.

Wearable computers may be a reality in today's army, but use is restricted to safe environs like a bunker or an armored vehicle—out in the open, soldiers' priority is keeping hold of their guns. The RallyPoint Handwear Computer Input Device is unique in that it is designed specifically to be used even while the soldier is gripping a gun or a steering wheel. It's full of sensors—maybe too many:

concept
Designer Du Tran Nguyen envisions the Verva Vie Sports Glove as the ultimate piece of sporting equipment. Like many current products, the Vie would allow users to use GPS to develop workouts, map routes and send out distress beacons. However, this concept takes those technologies a step further by offering an interface that can be controlled with one hand thanks to strain gauges embedded in the glove fingers that interact with an E-ink screen.

Snowboard Glove Concept Controls Your iPod via Non-Romantic Gestures
This is a demonstration of the previously seen iPod glove control concept, allowing snowboarders to control their music without reaching into a pocket and fiddling with the not-made-for-gloves Click Wheel. As you can see, different combinations of finger presses bring up tracks in Postal Service's serviceable studio album, which look like an awkward thing to do while you're trying to avoid being tree'd. The upshot is we'd hate to fall, try and catch ourselves, and accidentally turn up the volume with an unintended gesture and blast out our ears. [YouTube]
ipod
Last week at the International Symposium on Wearable Computers in Boston, UC Irving researcher Carsten Mehring showed off a new kind of remote control for the iPod that allows users to control the device with finger movements. Actions like skipping tracks and adjusting the volume can be performed wirelessly by simply touching the fingers together. Naturally, this sort of technology would be extremely useful from a convienence and safety perspective, but Mering believes that the possibilites for these types of wearable computers go way beyond controlling simple electronic devices. The most useful application of this technology may be that it can be used as an input device for your computer—as illustrated in the video above. If you want to check out the iPod glove in action, and check out a commercial while you are at it, hit the following product link. [Product Link via Wired]

Classic NES Power Glove Tattoo
We thought we were over looking at tattoos on the Internet. Then Kotaku posts this Power Glove masterpiece. We might have to say it...can't resist the cliché...but trying so hard...
Best. Tattoo. Ever.
What just happened? We blacked out for a minute and someone stole our wallet/pride. [kotaku]

We all knew those tacky 3D shades were just the beginning. A Japanese company is claiming to have ditched the geeky glasses and developed realistic 3D imaging technology that, when coupled with their sensor-packed glove, allows you to see and feel images. Yes, you can finally get your mitts on those crazy characters you've been swiping at since you were a kid. It gets crazier:

Get Medieval On Your Hand
Whether you are a speed whittler, an oyster shucker, or a pimp looking to make an authoritative fashion statement, a chainmail glove could be of some use. Pair it with a matching chainmail iPod case, or wear it solo, like Michael Jackson back when he wasn't scary. Whatever you do, its vendor warns you not to use it with power tools. Something to do with electric current coursing through your palm until you have nothing but a charred stump. Go figure. More »

Prototype Bluetooth Glove Brings New Possibilities to Gaming
Not only can this prototype Bluetooth glove act as a theoretical Wii controller, it can pretty much talk to any Bluetooth device out there. The glove is made out of standard acrylic, but has fingertip sensors that induces a current when touched together. By making different combinations between your fingers and thumbs, you could send one of a few signals to be picked up by other Bluetooth devices. More »

CPR Glove Save Lives, Gives Robot-Look
Not only is this CPR glove badass because it could potentially save lives, it is even more amazing because it looks somewhat like a Nintendo Power Glove and can give that bionic/robot look you have always dreamed of. The CPR glove was the brainwork of students at the McMaster (not to be confused with McDonalds, their rival) University. The glove has sensors and microchips that can measure frequency and depth of the compressions along with detecting a pulse no matter the strength and informing of its speed. It uses audio tones to help the user maintain an optimal level and speed of compressions. Check out the video here. More »

Photographer's Gloves Keeps Your Fingers Toasty
Essentially the same as hobo gloves, these photographers gloves keep your hands toasty as you snap off pics of Brangelina's new baby in whatever third world country they happen to be in this week. The only difference between these and standard fingerless gloves is that your pinkie and ring finger are protected, which makes sense if you were a photographer or a sniper, but makes less sense if you were Dr. Evil.
