Apple looks into an ‘Apple Glove’ for use with ‘Apple Glasses’ (or a gesture-based Mac) — Apple World Today

In the patent filing, the tech giant says that many traditional user input devices for computers, such as keyboards, have a fixed or static layout, which limits the adaptability of the device. Additionally, Apple says traditional input devices may be rigid and substantially detached from a user, thereby limiting the functionality of the input device. 

The solution: an “Apple Glove” (my term, not Apple’s). It could sport an accelerometer, a gyrometer, or a capacitive array. 

It could also pack a dynamically configurable light source configured to display an output. The output could include a keyboard shape — the aforementioned virtual keyboard. And when used with Apple Glasses — augmented reality/virtual reality/mixed reality head-mounted display — the glove could offer feedback in an immersive environment.
