Abstract
A data glove is used for enabling ten-finger-typing with a virtual keyboard. The angle at which the user's; finger bends at the proximal interphalangeal joint is used to decode a particular row of the keyboard. Each finger controls one or more columns. Discrimination between columns operated by the same finger is achieved through an abduction/adduction sensor. The glove is fingerless and allows normal hand functions in addition to the virtual typing
