RUGGEDIZED CONTROL GLOVE ALLOWING DYNAMIC BALANCE AND UNDIVIDED VISUAL ATTENTION

摘要

Various embodiments of a wireless control glove are optimized for use with powered rideable boards, mobility devices, or remote-controlled (RC) models. Incremental, analog-like throttle control takes full advantage of the nuanced power variability provided by electric motors. The control glove can be operated one-handed, by touch alone, in any body position, yet the input transducer placement prevents accidental commands. An output transducer on the glove provides alerts on power-reserve (e.g. battery) status. The alerts are detectable either by touch alone or a quick glance with peripheral vision.
