The  5DT Data Glove features advanced fiber-optic flex sensors to generate finger-bend data. Move easily through your virtual world by combining hand gestures with the pitch and roll of your hand. Breakthrough pricing, new features, open architecture and software support have made it the glove of choice. A wireless version is also available.

KineMusica

A body instrument package developed specifically for the 5th Glove. It converts finger flexure and hand orientation to music using MIDI commands, which can the be played out by any MIDI device e.g. a sound card. A virtual piano, horn, trumpet and drum set are already available as input controls which can be mapped to any MIDI instrument existing on either your MIDI compatible sound card or external synthesizer.

Mouse Emulation

A utility that emulates a standard Microsoft serial mouse on the hardware level. Default hand gestures have been defined to emulate left and right button clicks as well as double clicks. The glove will retain any user defined gestures and continue to operate as a mouse until the power is cycled.
