Abstract
The disclosed technologies address various technical problems, including improving human-computer interaction, by augmenting the functionality provided by user input devices using a digital glove. For example, a digital glove can be utilized to provide pressure sensitivity for non-pressure sensitive touchscreen devices, attribute input made with a digital pen to a user wearing the digital glove, augment the functionality provided by mice and other types of handheld user input devices, augment the functionality provided gaze tracking systems, improve camera-based motion tracking systems, and to augment the functionality provided by speech recognition systems.
