Abstract
A hand wearable cursor control and input device for a computer or other electronic device. The cursor control and input device includes a plurality of interconnected finger fittings. Each finger fitting is configured to receive therein at least the tip of one finger of the user'"'"'s hand. There are at least three finger fittings of which a first fitting includes a first contact, a second fitting includes a second contact, and third fitting includes a third contact. Engagement of the first contact with the third contact generates a first signal, a first click signal, and engagement of the second contact with the third contact generates a second signal, a second click signal. One of the contacts, such as the third contact, is a touchpad sensor configured to correlate the motion and position of a user'"'"'s finger being drawn across the surface of the third contact, a movement signal, into relative position of a cursor or pointer on a display screen of the computer or other electronic device. Additionally, there may include a fourth finger fitting having a fourth contact, which when engaged with the third contact, causes operation of the third contact as a touchpad and initiates the movement signal.
