An input device for {virtual reality} in the form of a glove which measures the movements of the wearer' s fingers and transmits them to the computer. Sophisticated data gloves also measure movement of the wrist and elbow. A data glove may also contain control buttons or act as an output device, e.g. vibrating under control of the computer. The user usually sees a virtual image of the data glove and can point or grip and push objects. Examples are Fifth Dimension Technologies (5DT)' s {5th Glove}, and {Virtual Technologies}' {CyberGlove}. A cheaper alternative is InWorld VR' s CyberWand.
