Abstract

A glove is disclosed with electrodes (2, 4) located at the extremity of at least one digit, with at least one other electrode (14, 16) at another location. The electrodes are so located as to enable one to move into contact with another by a movement of a hand within the glove, to complete an electrical circuit and to generate an output signal. The other electrodes (14, 16) can be replaced by resistors (26, 28) which will exhibit an electrical resistance dependent upon the location on the resistor as which contact is made by the electrode (2, 4). The electrodes and resistors are preferably formed as integral parts of the glove structure.
