This is a two part video tutorial demonstrating how to make an MXJ (Java based) object for capturing an Acceleglove data glove in Max/MSP. The tutorial assumes a good working knowledge of Max/MSP and Jitter however no previous knowledge of Java is necessary.

You will need:

• An Acceleglove.
• Max/MSP (4 or 5), Jitter is not absolutely necessary depending on what you aim to build.
• Eclipse, Java IDE.
