hardware, virtual reality An input device for virtualreality in the form of a glove which measures the movements

of the wearer's fingers and transmits them to the computer.

Sophisticated data gloves also measure movement of the wrist

and elbow. A data glove may also contain control buttons or

act as an output device, e.g. vibrating under control of the

computer. The user usually sees a virtual image of the

data glove and can point or grip and push objects.
