The Smart Glove would create a new way to type. Just as voice recognition typing programs came out (although they were relatively inaccurate and inefficient), this is another way to create type without actually typing. A user would use one hand in the glove and write the text, which would then be translated into print on a screen. As of now, the prototype takes 35 test runs of each unique letter for it to be 97% accurate when writing in freeform. It would cost near $100, so if that is too expensive for the market, they may use it medically for research in parkinson's disease.
