Digits is a wrist-worn gloveless sensor developed by Microsoft Research. It enables 3D computer interaction easily. The wrist sensor is able to mimic the finger movement in real time. Check out the video.<\/p>\n

In usual models, the user will usually need a glove to emulate the finger movement. However, Microsoft Research team has managed to make it into a gloveless type (Wrist Worn Sensor) using hardware that can be easily obtained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the moment, the Digits prototype is built entirely from off-the-shelf hardware and is rather bulky: An infrared (IR) camera, an IR laser line generator, an IR diffuse illuminator, and an inertial-measurement unit (IMU) all track hand movements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
