Gesture-Directed Sensor-Information Fusion Gloves
From: Defense Tech Briefs - 04/2010 - page 29

Current chemical-protection gear for warfighters on the ground inhibits
electronic communication via keyboards, cell phones, and remote-control

protective gear in hazardous environments, a series of eGloves has been
developed with a view toward freeing the warfighter of the need to type on a

eGloves can help the warfighter transmit gestures with the hands and fingers
from within the protective gear, or they can be used to transmit encoded
ASCII characters.
