Minority Report Interface to Google Earth

by admin on June 5th, 2007

Picked up via the ever impressive Oogle Earth Blog is the news that
Atlas Gloves were developed by Dan Phiffer and Mushon Zer-Aviv part of
the ITP - NYU’s Interactive Telecommunication Program. They have
developed a pair of ‘Atlas Gloves’. The gloves are a DIY physical
interface for controlling 3D mapping applications like Google Earth.
The user interface is based around a pair of illuminating gloves that
can be used to track intuitive hand gestures like grabbing, pulling,
reaching and rotating. The Atlas Glove website has a video of the
interface in action as well as details on how to build you own from a
pair of ping pong balls, led lights and a webcam.
