Meet the Scientist: Dr Sunny Fugate, Armed with Science Blog, July 2014.

We really do live in an era where we need everyday cyber weapons, like the small arms that you might carry to a frontier. Currently, our everyday cyber weapons are not very sophisticated and they are not very intuitive. You kind of have to be the hacker type to understand most of them. We all have one weapon that we can always use, but it is like the nuclear option. I can always just turn off my computer or unplug it from the network, but this is unacceptable. We can do better.”

In the future, the eGlove technology may be used by Navy divers, NASA astronauts, firefighters, or police for computer control while driving, or even providing intuitive control of autonomous vehicles such as ground robotics or unmanned aerial vehicles, all using simple hand-gestures.
