7 Of The World’s Most Incredible High Tech Gloves
Gloves can do so much more than keep your hands warm. When modern technology is applied to the humble glove, the results are somewhat surprising and amazing.
<h2>Fibre Optic Light Glove</h2>
Carrying a torch when trying to complete a task such as fixing leaky pipes or feeling under the gap between your floor and your bed can be a real pain. The designers of the Fibre Optic Light Glove have taken this into consideration when creating a product which we will all have a use for: a glove which fits over the thumb and index finger, with one small LED spotlight coming out of the index finger section. You can control light intensity using a control on the thumb, and the location of the spotlight helps to reduce the shadow produced as opposed to a conventional light.
<h2>Beat on the Block Glove</h2>
Have you ever found yourself wanting to tap out a beat, but with no drum kit? No? Well, me neither. But this new idea for a glove may well come in handy for budding musicians who find inspiration in the strangest of places. With these gloves, designed by students in Antwerp, your fingers become a drum kit, capable of both playing and recording the sound you beat out!

<h2>SensoGlove</h2>
If you’re an avid golfer, you’ll know how important it is to get your swing correct. These digital gloves are the first of their kind to provide accurate information pertaining to your golf swing, with the aim of perfecting even an average golfer’s ability. There is even an in-built alarm which sounds if the grip on the club is too loose, so there should be no risk of you losing control ever again. With these gloves, your friends will all be lining up to give them a try on the nearest golf course!
<h2>Robogloves</h2>
Made from some of the strongest materials known to man, Robogloves offer a level of protection unknown before now. They are designed for use by police and border agency staff, with metal detectors that are highly sensitive to all types of metal hidden on a person’s body – all the wearer has to do it run their hands, which are fully protected, over someone’s body to find any suspicious items.
<h2>Portable Idea Creator Gloves</h2>
Another glove for those who are musically minded: the Portable Idea Creator Glove. The gloves come with a pair of headphones, and enable the wearer to compose and record music using only their hands. The tone of the sound will change depending on the surface you tap, giving you access to hundreds of different sounds you can make wherever you are. Although it may seem like something that is from a movie, these gloves really are the future of the music industry!
<h2>Experience Recorder Gloves</h2>
These gloves are perhaps the most amazing featured on this list. The Experience Recorder Gloves do exactly what their name suggests – record your experiences. They are connected to a wireless computer monitor, and record everything you come into contact with; sounds, images, and even the temperature at the time. These gloves add a whole new dimension to the idea of home videos – now you can really experience what it was like, with all the sights and sounds of real life captured effortlessly.
<h2>FrontLine Gloves</h2>
These are another pair of gloves which are designed to aid the emergency services to fulfil their duties. Designed for the fire service, the FrontLine Gloves allow communication without the need for radio signals – pads on the glove light up to indicate instructions sent by other fire fighters, and are responsive to hand movements of the wearer to send back signals in reply. In the hot, dangerous environment of a smoky house, these gloves could be the difference between life or death.
