In 2006-2007 I took a Master's degree in MA by Project - Music Technology and as a result, I made a wireless music controller, a glove with touch and bend sensors plus an accelerometer (Wii controller) which I called "The TaGlove" .

From my Master's thesis:TaGlove – a New Interface for Musical Expression (NIME) you can read the full description of the project [abstract]:
"The TaGlove consists of a hardware glove and software performance environment programmed in Max / MSP (a software package from Cycling 74) submitted as a partial and final submission of MA by Project (Music Technology) at London Metropolitan University, 2007. The paper starts with a brief overview of other similar studies in this field (with particular focus on other interface gloves). A brief introduction to the different parts of the project follows in addition to a detailed description of the TaGlove in detail and the issues surrounding the expressiveness of gestural controllers. Areas of particular focus are the pre-stage of mapping (preparing the sensors for programming use), mapping (the designed link between the instrument's playing interface and its sound source), and granular synthesis (the sound source)."

Should you be interested in studying the TaGlove and the underlying technology more I have made the Max / MSP files available for your perusal as well: Click here to download. PS: Max / MSP required to run. You can also read more about the TaGlove and other NIME's on my project blog over at wordpress

I also published a video on youtube where you can explore some of the potential of what sounds you can get out of this thing - fully customizable of course :)
