Data General mN601 Data General MicroNova 601 data glove virtual reality> An input device for virtual reality in the form of a glove which measures the movements of the wearers fingers and transmits them to the computer. Sophisticated data gloves also measure movement of the wrist and elbow. A data glove may also contain control buttons or act as an output device, e. g. vibrating under control of the computer. The user usually sees a virtual image of the data glove and can point or grip and push objects. Examples are Fifth Dimension Technologies 5DTs 5th Glove, and Virtual Technologies CyberGlove. A cheaper alternative is InWorld VRs CyberWand. ["Full freedom plus input", PC Magazine, Mar 14 1995, pp. 168-190]. [Inventor?]
