New updates on the Keyglove project, particularly of interest to cr0sh: I'm going to try that glue you recommended. It will hopefully be useful in simplifying the build process. What I had before worked okay, but it made assembly very difficult because of the order in which everything had to be done (specifically, sensor wire attachment before sewing). I hope that by using this new glue, I can sew the sensors on all by themselves, which is way easier, and then attach the sensor wires afterward.
I have also discovered a more optimal sensor size across the board. I had been making all of them rather large, and this turned out to be a bad idea. Accuracy is far too difficult. It works much better if the main thumb/fingertip sensors are large, and virtually everything else is small. I will be building a second prototype to thoroughly test this as soon as the new gloves show up.
I'm also having excellent success with an ADXL345 accelerometer, which I will be using for mouse control. I haven't got too far on that just yet, but the I2C interface is working great, which to me was the hard part.
I've put together a rather basic (and not fully complete) set of instructions on building your own now, available here: How to Build - Keyglove
I have made great progress overall, and more good stuff is happening almost on a daily basis. I was also lucky enough to be picked up by the Makezine blog this afternoon. Awesome. Go to News - Keyglove for the latest news, as usual.
