    摘要: An apparatus includes a moveable electrode which moves along an interstitial pathway defined by four fixed electrodes. The first and second fixed electrodes are separated by a first distance. The third and fourth fixed electrodes are separated by a second distance and adjacent to the first and second fixed electrodes, respectively. A capacitance sensing circuit coupled to the four fixed electrodes determines a first capacitance using the first and second fixed electrodes and a second capacitance using the third and fourth fixed electrodes. In some examples, the apparatus also comprises fifth and sixth fixed electrodes separated by a third distance and orthogonal to the first and second fixed electrodes and seventh and eighth fixed electrodes separated by a fourth distance and orthogonal to the third and fourth fixed electrodes. The fifth and seventh fixed electrodes are adjacent, and the sixth and eighth fixed electrodes are adjacent.

    摘要: A 3D input system and an angle encoder are disclosed. The 3D input system comprises a computing device and one or more position sensing gloves. The position sensing glove comprises a plurality of angle encoders each installed thereon at a location about a finger joint. An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is installed on the glove. A firmware uses data from the angle encoders and IMU to calculate fingertip positions in a 3D space. The firmware generates keystrokes on a virtual keyboard based on the fingertip positions. The angle encoder comprises a first and a second components rotatable with respect to each other, and an encoder pattern comprising codewords for indicating the angle between the first and second components. The encoder pattern comprises a set of base encoder channels coded with a conventional Gray code, and a set of Booster channels for improving the resolution of angle measurement.
