Abstract 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 …
