Abstract
The hand has incredible potential as an expressive input device. Yet most touch technologies imprecisely recognize limited hand parts (if at all), usually by inferring the hand part from the touch shapes. We introduce the fiduciary- tagged glove as a reliable and very expressive way to gather input about: (a) many parts of a hand (fingertips, knuckles, palms, sides, backs of the hand), and (b) to discriminate between one person’s or multiple peoples’ hands. Examples illustrate the interaction power gained by being able to identify and exploit these various hand parts.
