A Novel Method for Joint Motion Sensing on a Wearable Computer

Some wearable computing applications require sensing devices that detect the deflection of joints during human motion. Presented here is a novel non-invasive technique for measuring joint motion using pressure sensors. Described is a specific example of this; an easy to assemble glove that can be used as a low cost, high resolution gesture input device for wearable computers.
