Present Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that vary in shapes, operation schemes, and functions can be frequently found in our daily life, and the giant market demand has been pushing the development of the HMIs since the last decades. To greatly extend the communication channels between humans and external devices in a natural way, here we report an intuitive, self-powered, low-cost, and glove-based HMI towards diversified applications. A minimalist design based on the triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) in two configurations is proposed to balance the requirement on the full functionality and the simplified signal processing capacity of the HMIs. Each TENG sensor is composed of a PEDOT:PSS coated textile strip stitched onto the glove and a layer of silicone rubber thin film coated on the glove. The glove-based interface has been successfully demonstrated for wireless car control, wireless drone control, minigame control, VR game control, and cursor control for online shopping as well as alphabet writing with a simple and intuitive operation technique. This glove-based interface provides a novel minimalist design concept distinct from the present rigid and bulky HMIs to open up a new direction of the further development of the HMIs with advantages of flexibility/wearability, low cost, easy operation, simplified signal processing, and low power consumption.

基于手套的自供电直观界面,适用于实际/网络空间中的各种控制应用
当前,在我们的日常生活中经常会发现形状,操作方案和功能各不相同的人机界面(HMI),而巨大的市场需求自过去几十年来一直推动着HMI的发展。为了以自然的方式极大地扩展人与外部设备之间的通信渠道,在此我们向各种应用报告了一种直观,自供电,低成本且基于手套的HMI。提出了基于摩擦电纳米发电机(TENG)的两种配置的极简设计,以平衡对HMI的全部功能和简化的信号处理能力的要求。每个TENG传感器均由缝在手套上的PEDOT:PSS涂层纺织带和一层涂在手套上的硅橡胶薄膜组成。基于手套的界面已成功演示了无线汽车控制,无线无人机控制,小游戏控制,VR游戏控制和用于在线购物的光标控制以及通过简单直观的操作技巧进行的字母书写。这种基于手套的界面提供了不同于目前的刚性和笨重的HMI的新颖的极简设计概念,为HMI的进一步发展开辟了新的方向,其优点是灵活性/耐磨性,低成本,易于操作,简化的信号处理以及低功耗。
