Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the controller executes the computer-executable code for calculating the fingertip positions of at least one of the one or more fingers in the 3D space, wherein the communication interface transmits the calculated fingertip positions in the 3D space to the computing device, and wherein the computing device executes the computer-executable code for generating one or more commands based on the calculated fingertip positions.
