GLOWes

GLOWes is an Arduino-controlled lightwriting device which displays characters by illuminating an array of LEDs stacked onto a glove. By waving the hand an internal accelerometer measures the g-forces and maps them to the LED-array. A repetitive waving movement creates the opportunity to write words, or even whole sentences, into the air and make them visible for other humans without using a camera!
