Location sensors status: August 25, 2016 (continued)

We currently are of the opinion that hands will be the most difficult body

part to track. In part, this is because it is necessary to be able to distinguish

between a packed fist and an open hand and several configurations in

between.

We are exploring if positions of muscles in the top of the hand, the wrist

and the forearm might be sufficient. If not, it looks to us like smart gloves

would be necessary with approximate sensor positions shown below. Note

that we are showing 16 sensors on the right hand alone, so 32 in all.
