Has anyone used a good tether-free / large-item-free input method?<br>

<br>

The closest I know is that RyanC's used Twiddler2[1] and seems to<br>

somewhat like it.<br>

<br>

My preference is for something that'd let me keep a fairly high input<br>

speed after reasonable training[2], but that could be part of some<br>

low-profile worn computing setup like I mentioned a little while ago.<br>

<br>

In my futuristic ideal design sense, this'd be a mostly-cloth glove<br>

that lets me program arbitrary virtual keys in 3d space (with<br>

arbitrary chord to output mappings[3]), and haptic feedback of some<br>

sort integrated. Something that Inspector Heinrich Runge from Monster<br>

would use.<br>

<br>

But I doubt such a device exist IRL right now. So what's the closest?<br>

Is this within feasible reach for a project?<br>
