I’ve noticed now... seems a lot better than gesture controls I’ve seen before. Per finger articulation 😳 cool
Interesting thumb to index finger gesture. I can see that coming in handy for a new genre of expressive live porn soundtracks...
I’m not seeing this product doing anything more innovative than what an X-Y pad or MPE already does.
To be more useful than my previous comment, the Glover software is £119 with a free trial and the app is free, so I'm going to have a play with that, but like @Neum I'm not sure this gives a whole lot for the money with the Gliss app - I still use the Alchemy remote for it's motion control which is good fun (to the old pre-Logic Alchemy desktop plugin). At least this might provoke me to find out which apps have a motion controllable X-Y pad.
Anyway, worth a free trial experiment I think. The gloves are £1250 per glove, order before May 1st for November delivery. At the budget end I bought (for my 10 year old daughter) the mimu glove kit for microbit*. At £40 it was massively overpriced for a very unsatisfying novelty experience, I'd had more fun with musical christmas cards.
EDIT: The Glover free trial requires you sign up for a Mimu account, once you do the trial is active for 14 days. Will report back in 14 days or so.
Also I've remembered that Midi Designer does an accelerometer controlled X-Y pad. Any others people can recommend?
*EDIT 2: Glover has an option to connect to the microbit, so I'm now intrigued to see if this will work with the glove kit. If it does, it may provide the gesture control I was originally hoping for (and I will steal it back from my daughter as I always intended).
Here’s a slightly cheaper alternative

Half an hour in and I'm completely taken by Glover. I got it working with my previously redundant microbit (following Mimu's well made tutorial), now playing kick drum in Ableton by waving my hand around. Filters and effects next on the list.
The possibilities seem huge, you can have multiple devices going into Glover, so there's whole lot of midi control you can generate.
In terms of iOS it would be amazing if Glover could be an App to give control within the iOS environment, as an addition to Gliss providing iOS control to Glover on desktop. I'm sure that's not ultimately beyond these clever people.
Thanks @TheOriginalPaulB for posting about this, I was watching the film 'Whiplash' last night, I'm looking forward to now employing some dramatic conducting gestures in my workflow.
Is this the same as the microbit you’re using? Not the actual glove per say but the microcontroller.

Yes that's the one, though i've just ditched the glove (tailored in my house for a small hand). Also mine is Microbit V1 I think, although apparently Glover works with V1 and V2 microbits and you can use more than one at a time.
I just set it up with a filter on a bass from Live - honestly that is pretty much my long term dream come true - play a note and wave my hand around for some 'Bwah, bwah, bwah' - brilliant
Also, I've only ever had good experiences with Pimoroni (when buying bits for midi controllers).
You'd be good to go with this and this:

This looks great too, will give it a go as well, beginning to wish I was an octopus.
