Developed by Laetitia Sonami, this rather unique sensory enhanced glove was made way back in the year 1991 for a performance at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria. Perhaps the first glove with integrated sensors, the Lady’s glove elevates the essence of any instrument. Bearing five Hall effect transducers on the finger tips, the gloves have a magnet on the right hand – which when touched by the finger tips generate signals converted into MIDI signals through synthesizers and samplers. In addition the Lady’s glove features microswitches on the finger ends for tactile control, bend sensors to measure finger inclination and sonar ranging to emitters on the shoe and the opposite arm. The Lady’s glove is a great embodiment of multiple and parallel controls, via gestures and touch.
