The x-IMU Gloves

This first pair of customized gloves uses custom made version of the x-IMU. Each glove has one x-IMU, 8 bend sensors, an RGB LED and vibration motor.

The DIY ArduIMU Gloves

An Open Hardware pair of datagloves that capture movement and gestures of the hand using the ArduIMU and bend sensors. The gloves can be connected with an FTDI cable or wirelessly using a Bluetooth module. The gloves also include an RGB LED light and a vibration motor for visual and haptic feedback.

These gloves are made from off-the-shelf parts and documented in these step-by-step instructions.

E-Textile Gloves

This is a version of The Gloves that uses conductive and piezoresistive fabrics to capture movement and gestures of the hand in an attempt to build a fully fabric data glove.

MiMu Gloves

Three pairs of this version of the glove were produced in preparation for Imogen’s NIME performance.

Collaborator Gloves

This version of the MiMu data gloves for composing and performing electronic music are in production for a small group of collaborators who continued to support us after our Kickstarter campaign.

The circuits are painted on a peltier thermo-electric heating device that is itself part of the circuit. The traces of the circuit are painted with a water-based silver paint and are coated in resin mixed with black thermochromic pigment, which becomes transparent when the peltier device heats up.

The installation comprises a series of rooms, starting in a rustic general store a succession of doors lead through three different environments, each designed to draw attention to the secret lives of our invisible objects, in different ways.

This project was conceived as a 2012 Flux Festival proposal in collaboration with Jerushia Graham, Chris Rumery, Justin Rabideau, and with support from The Creatives Project, MASS Collective and The Goat Farm Arts Center
