Abstract
The hand has incredible potential as an expressive input
device. Yet most touch technologies imprecisely recognize
limited hand parts (if at all), usually by inferring the
hand part from the touch shapes. We introduce the fiduciary-
tagged glove as a reliable and very expressive way
to gather input about: (a) many parts of a hand (fingertips,
knuckles, palms, sides, backs of the hand), and (b) to discriminate
between one person’s or multiple peoples’
hands. Examples illustrate the interaction power gained
by being able to identify and exploit these various hand
parts.
