This project explores the development of an innovative input device in the form of a glove, designed as an alternative to the traditional keyboard. The goal is to create a more ergonomic, flexible, and posture-friendly solution for text input. Unlike the widely used QWERTY layout, originally designed to prevent mechanical typewriters from jamming, this glove-based system optimizes finger combinations for efficient and intuitive input. Inspired by alternative input methods like Braille and the Dvorak layout, it rethinks text entry beyond the mechanical constraints of conventional keyboards.
