Abstract
This paper proposes a flexible and wearable hand exoskeleton which can be used as a computer mouse. The hand exoskeleton is developed based on a new concept of wearable mouse. The wearable mouse, which consists of flexible bend sensor, accelerometer and bluetooth, is designed for comfortable and supple usage. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed wearable mouse, experiments are carried out for mouse operation consisting of click, cursor movement and wireless communication. The experimental results show that our wearable mouse is more accurate than a standard mouse.
