Thanko, Japan’s self-proclaimed “rare things shop,” is now selling a glove that allows users to control a computer or Android device using hand gestures.
The “Gesture Glove Mouse,” is on sale now for 4980 yen (US $61.87). Users wear the glove on their right hand (sorry lefties, no word on a southpaw version yet) and strap on the connected sensor to their index finger. The glove reads the user’s wrist movements and translates it into curser movements. Users click using their thumb and index finger.
The Gesture Glove Mouse supports Windows PC, Mac, or any Android device. It is also wireless and has a range of 10 meters (33 feet). Its internal battery can be recharged using USB and can be used for 12 hours after one hour of charging.
You’ll feel like a badass while lounging on the couch with Gesture Glove Mouse.
