ChairIO
Description:
The ChairIO is a chair based interface to control navigation in 3D environments or to control cursor movement on the desktop. To operate the ChairIO, users sit on the device, based on the Swopper© by aeris, and tilt it by shifting their body weight in any direction or rotate the seat. This physical movement of the seat is mapped to viewpoint/direction movement in the 3D environment. This way of controlling navigation has proven to be highly intuitive for navigation, is good for the back, and is a joy to use.

CyberGlove
Description:
A CyberGlove is a glove-like input device for virtual reality environments. It contains sensors attached to each finger for capturing the global position / rotation data of the glove. These movements are then interpreted by the software that accompanies the glove, so any one movement can mean any number of things. Gestures can then be categorized into useful information, such as to recognize Sign Language or other symbolic functions.
