Atlas Gloves is a DIY physical interface for controlling 3D mapping applications like Google Earth. The user interface is a pair of illuminating gloves that can be used to track intuitive hand gestures like grabbing, pulling, reaching and rotating. The Open Source Atlas Gloves application can be downloaded here and operated from home using a webcam and two self-made illuminating gloves (or flashlights).
Atlas Gloves was also approached by the MoMA to show Atlas Gloves in the upcoming exhibition titled Design and the Elastic Mind and in the catalog that would accompany it.
After Microsoft XBox 360 succesfully developed "Kinect", interacting with computer programs moved to another dimension. Being able to sense the depth is one of the key features of Kinect, which will consequently allow it to detect many human gestures. Therefore, users can interact with computer programs by just using their hands and so on.
So right now instead of using Atlas Gloves, with Kinect it is much easier to control Google Earth or any planetarium software by many kinds of gesture.
