Experimental studies of the correlation between fingers bending angle with voltage outputted from GloveMAP

Modernization of human technology overtime result the need of more freedom technology such as `wired glove' to replace current trend. Joystick, mouse, keyboard and other related output device will be replaced by `Wired Glove' technology which given user more freedom and user friendly. `Wired Glove' does not only limited to personal computer used only, but it can be design to control motor, robot, or even translating sign languages. `Wired Glove' used multiple sensors to extract finger movement data for interpreting human gesture and express it's into outputs such as virtual Realms, computer software, and mechanical device. This paper discusses the experimental studies to correlate the voltage outputted from the dataglove with the finger bending angle. The polynomial regression analysis is proposed to interpret the voltage output into an angle, whereas the information considerable more user approachable. The experimental results show that the proposed methods convert the voltage to angle with 100% accuracy.
