In the article entitled "Force-Sensing Gloves Cloud Control An iPhone By Detecting Gestures and How Objects Are Gripped," Owen (2019) mentions that Apple created a glove technically capable of engaging with technologies for individuals. This force-sensing (FS) glove is made of fabric meshed with conductive layers that sense the glove forces when the user touches a surface. Besides, this glove will sense how much pressure is applied and the number of fingers used. The author also states that Apple will look at different ways to control an application without interacting with the touchscreen. The FS glove will include conductive strands woven together with normal threads and monitor contact outside, while the inside contains sensors for compression from the fingers. According to Owen (2019), the FS glove has the capability to replace handheld controllers in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Although Owen (2019) explains the features such as the functions and how
