The last two weeks have included many adventures in 3D modelling. After the crashy mess that was MatterControl, Cloud pointed me to TinkerCad, a free, simple, browser-based CAD program. If you can visualise your desired shape out of simple blocks, this is the free-n’-easy application for you. What I need, for the time being, is …

I told myself a few months ago between starting this journey and remaking the pattern that those multi-coloured gloves would be the ones that got me through this year. Oh, how naïve I was! The previous posts gloves did allow me to test the pattern. They were designed with shorter flex sensors than I had …

Over the weekend, I redrafted my glove pattern. Previously, I had used the generic glove pattern that I found on the original Mi.Mu dev-blog as the base for my old gloves. For the next iterations, I wanted to have them fit my hands without any weird finger lengths (on me) and to try a few …

In 2018, I designed and built a set of data-gloves with my collaborator, Cloud Unknowing. Our first prototype was built using flexible sensors that I manufactured from an Instructables tutorial. They were relatively robust and, though the masking tape sealing filled me with apprehension, they worked. Of course, data-gloves are nothing new. There is the Nintendo PowerGlove, the Mi.Mu and other commercially available gloves, ‘The Hands’ by Michel Waisvitz, Laetitia Sonami’s ‘Lady Glove’, and Elena Jessop’s ‘VAMP’.
