1. A method for tracking positions of finger portions of a glove, comprising:

  • sending, from a head-mounted display (HMD), a power signal to the glove configured to be worn on a user'"'"'s hand, wherein the finger portions have a plurality of light emitters;

    detecting, by a plurality of sensors on the HMD, light emitted by the light emitters of the finger portions for facilitating generation of data, wherein the light is emitted using power produced from the power signal received by the glove, wherein the sensors provide a frame of reference for determining one or more positions of one or more of the finger portions of the glove, wherein the one or more positions of the one or more of the finger portions are determined with respect to the frame of reference based on the data; and

    determining changes to the one or more positions of the one or more finger portions with respect to the frame of reference based on additional data, wherein the additional data is generated based on additional light that is generated by the light emitters and after the additional light is detected by the sensors on the HMD.
