Abstract

A controller for finger gesture recognition, including a griping body, a manipulating component and a sensing component, is provided. The griping body includes a head portion and a griping portion which is opposite to the head portion and includes a plurality of finger contact areas. The manipulating component is disposed on the head portion, and the sensing component includes a plurality of finger sensors which are disposed in the finger contact areas, respectively. A method for recognizing finger gesture is also provided, including steps of: receiving a signal of finger movement from the controller, wherein the signal of finger movement is generated by at least one of the finger sensors sensing that at least one of user's fingers contacts or approaches the controller; determining a finger gesture constituted by the fingers according to the signal of finger movement; and generating a signal of finger gesture corresponding to the finger gesture.
