Check out the article (and video)
below, this is an interesting device! It wasn't mentioned, but I was
thinking about the implications of something like this being
developed further along in the future.
This motion capture glove device
transfers the movements of your hand into computer language that can
move a robotic hand, and it even provides haptic feedback so you can
physically sense virtual objects you "touch" with the hand
in virtual reality. Think about how this could be used further: we
could record the precise hand movements of, say, a surgeon or
musician. Then, someone could put on the glove, and "play"
the recording so that it moves their hand in the same way. This
device could be used to teach hand movements and help refine them. A
guitarist could play a tremelo on the guitar with one on, and record
that movement. Then, the device could put it on a student and play
the movement back, allowing the student to learn the movements
through repetitive sensation. This concept could be applied on a
larger scale, too--if we can do this with a glove, we can do the same
thing with a larger, robotic body suit. Dancing, martial arts, and
other physical disciplines could be taught through such a device.
