Motion sensing technology is rapidly becoming the center of many useful systems today. Various forms of motion sensing technology are being used today in security, weapons, medical, and entertainment systems. Even in a simple personal computer at home, motion sensing is being implemented specifically through a simple user input device such as the mouse. A glove-based user input peripheral device which emulates mouse functions will be developed, called TRIAD 32. The heart of the TRIAD 32 is a 3-axis accelerometer used for motion sensing to emulate the 2D mouse cursor. Touch buttons attached in the index, middle finger and thumb will be used for clicking functions."
