A data glove is a glove that is fitted with sensors, sometimes electrical, mechanical or spatial, which records the movements of different parts of the glove (for example the bending of a finger, or two fingers). These movements are then interpreted by the software that accompanies the glove, so any one movement can mean any number of things. Gestures can then be catigorized into useful information, such as to recognize American Sign Language or other symbolic functions. In addition some old game systems, such as Nintendo, used a simplified 'power glove' feature, which operates on the same principles and mimics the data that would come from the normal video game controller, so gamers could "control the game with their hand."
