GloveGRASP is a C++ class library that provides a powerful and easy way to add accurate gesture recognition to Silicon Graphics applications such as virtual reality, gestural input, motion capture, and character animation. Unlike other gesture recognition systems, GloveGRASP uses context-dependent feature-based recognition.
GloveGRASP uses advanced pattern matching techniques to ensure highly accurate gesture recognition. Users can set the pattern matching parameters to tune the recognition for their particular gesture set. Recognition rates above 95% can be achieved with multiple gesture sets, each containing as many as a dozen separate gestures.

GloveMotion is a powerful new tool for animators that provides real-time control of Alias ShapeShifter operations using low-cost instrumented gloves. Combining the popular 5th Glove computer input controller with a new MotionSampler plugin, GloveMotion interprets your hand orientation and the bend angle of each of your fingers to control individual ShapeShifter morphing operations. A single glove can control up to seven operations simultaneously, and up to four gloves can be used together to control complex objects such as fully-articulated humanoids.
With a single finger, you can open and close an animated mouth for instant lipsync control. Use all five finegers for real-time hand animation, or for complete facial expresssion control of lips, eyes, and eyebrows. Add a second glove, and a single user can control two faces. Add a second user, and control faces, hands, and feet simultaneously. Since any ShapeShifter operation can be driven, you can contol anything from eight-legged spiders to waving palm trees. All in real-time, of course.

ImageGlove is a real-time motion capture and animation product for SoftImage NT. Combining the popular 5th Glove with SoftImage channel drivers, ImageGlove interpets the bend of each of your fingers to drive individual SoftImage channels. Using advanced fiber-optic sensors, the ImageGlove gives you five discrete channels of finger input and two channels of hand orientation. Of course you can use the right or left gloves for precise and realistic capture of finger and hand actions. After that, let your creativity define what your ten fingers can do - the flutter of a butterfly's wings, the sway of a tree in the wind or the gallop of a unicorn. With the included Softimage channel drivers and sample hand models, you will be jump-started towards easily and quickly creating natural and exciting animations.

ImageTrak marries Polhemus InsideTrak with Softimage channel drivers. By using up to two sensors per PC compatible board, you will obtain six degrees of freedom per sensor for positional control. You can capture hand, head or body inputs for human animations; or simply use a sensor attached to your hand to realistically portray the flight of an eagle, the motion of a boat on the high seas or a lion stalking its prey. You can capture motion and see your results in real-time, instantly, you get to produce a realistic final product. For more sensor inputs, simply install additional PC boards. Fully compatible with ImageGlove.
