Got a video of the glove in action? It's hard to understand how it works (though I can guess).

The main image is actually a video that you can watch. It seems to work by pinching your thumbs against various parts of your other fingers.
The way it works is actually really simple. The thumb pad is powered, and when it touches the other points, closed circuits are formed. And depending on which pad is touched, a different voltage value is read by the microcontroller, which then runs our code and translates the value to an ASCII character, which is then sent through Bluetooth to the computer/phone screen.
