Abstract

A glove worn on the hand of a computer operator provides a computer mouse function for a computer having a video display highlighted by a cursor, in which the apparatus senses the direction of movement of an element of a computer operator's body and transmits corresponding commands to the computer to move the cursor in the video display in a corresponding direction, whereby two-dimensional movement of the cursor reflects movements of the body element. In one embodiment of the invention, cursor motion is controlled by lateral motion of the operator's wrist and vertical motion of the operator's index finger, whereby movement of said cursor follows the direction of movement of the wrist and index finger. Click button on various fingers of the glove are activated by the thumb to provide mouse click functions.
