The glove that lets you write in mid air - and it could be used with Google's Glass



It could be the end of the keyboard - but also the pen.
German researchers have revealed a hi-tech glove that lets people simply write in mid air. Dubbed the 'airwriter', the system is able to work out what is being written simply by monitoring the position of the user's hand.

The airwriting glove can recognise letters drawn in mid air using sensors. Its inventor claims it could one day even be woven into clothing so people can type anywhere

'The airwriting glove is used to write letters into air, as if using an invisible board or pad,' said doctoral student Christoph Amma, who developed the system at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany.She believes the technology could eventually be woven into clothing so it can be used anywhere.

The prototype glove is packed with sensors. However, it is believed future versions could be small enough to be simply woven into clothing
