Abstract: User input gloves and input methods are described that are well suited to provide input to computer modeling (eg CAD) and augmented reality (AR) systems, including wearable AR and spatial AR. Each glove comprises palm mounted ultrasonic transducers, accelerometers, finger based pinch inputs and a wireless communication module. The gloves can be used to measure distances over the natural range of distances that hands can be placed, as well as their orientation, with sufficient resolution to facilitate a range of gesture based input methods to be developed and utilized, including distance-based modeling by measurement. Further the gloves are light weight, allow fast input of modeling measurements, are easy to use, and reduce fatigue compared to existing glove based input systems. The user input gloves, and associated input techniques can be used to measure small and body sized objects using one or two hands, and large objects can be measured using single handed measurements. Further models for both small and large objects can be generated and manipulated through the use of a numeric input technique to obtain an amplification factor to magnify the effective distances measured.

Abstract translation: 描述了用户输入手套和输入方法，其非常适合于为计算机建模（例如CAD）和增强现实（AR）系统（包括可穿戴AR和空间AR）提供输入。 每个手套包括手掌式超声波换能器，加速度计，基于手指的夹点输入和无线通信模块。 手套可以用于测量手可以放置的距离的自然距离以及它们的方向上的距离，具有足够的分辨率，以便于开发和利用基于手势的输入方法的范围，包括基于距离的建模 测量。 此外，与现有的基于手套的输入系统相比，手套重量轻，允许快速输入建模测量，易于使用，并减少疲劳。 用户输入手套和相关的输入技术可用于使用一只或两只手测量小型和身体尺寸的物体，并且可以使用单手测量来测量大型物体。 可以通过使用数字输入技术来生成和操纵小型和大型物体的其他模型，以获得放大系数，以放大所测量的有效距离。
