The QWERTY computer keyboard has proved to be a versatile design over the years, and whether you’re typing on an iPhone screen, or the chiclet keys prevalent on modern laptops, the experience is largely the same. However, typical keyboards aren’t generally all that easy to use one-handed or while walking, for example. For those kind of situations you may be better served with a glove called Gauntlet, which features a built-in one handed keyboard.

Gauntlet, or the Generally Accessible Universal Nomadic Tactile Low-power Electronic Typist, is a smart glove device which sports built-in wireless keyboard functionality. When designing Gauntlet, University of Alabama researchers led by Jiake Liu worked out the most commonly used letters in the English alphabet, and consigned the easiest and most natural hand movements to these letters. Lesser used letters and functions were given more complicated gestures.
