Wireless sensor glove interface and its application in digital holography

In the paper we introduce the novel intuitive user interface (UI) which is based on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) technology and is implemented as a glove with a set of sensors for capturing user´s gestures. The proposed UI is applied for interacting with a conventional 3D display and controlling the reconstruction of digital holograms. To the best of our knowledge the suggested interface is the first one, which is intended specifically for controlling the reconstruction parameters of digital holographic data. The suggested system includes the inter-cognitive communication as an important design parameter. In the paper we discuss in details the implementation of the interface and present the results of the experiments, in which the suggested UI was used to control the reconstruction of the holograms depicting industrially manufactured 3D objects. Based on the presented results, we distinguish the features of the developed UI and discuss the possible industrial applications of digital holography and of the suggested interface.
