In this paper, we describe the development of gloves that can be used in a ubiquitous computing environment. The ubiHand gloves were developed to access information devices in various wireless environments, including mobile computing, games, and in-vehicle telematic systems. The gloves are equipped with chording keyboard mechanism for flexible input and control of the wireless devices, an embedded RFID reader and a set of accelerator sensors for gathering information from the users' various hand gestures. The system configuration and keymaps for ubiquitous information access as well as the interface for input and control for the gloves are presented.
