Abstract :Computer, mobile devices and the newly emerging wearable technologies motivate the researchers to create new environments. Smart glasses, which are one of the current wearable technologies, are among the developing technologies. Studies have been conducted for the usability and functionality of this technology, which is used in augmented reality environments, in education as well as many other areas. Some of these studies focus on users` control over digital objects. In this context, object control of augmented reality environments through various sensors such as RGB-D, heat or movement sensors were tried to be established in this study. The aim of the current study to develop a sensing glove which is a wearable technology for augmented reality environments. The Unity and Vuforio SDK software was integrated with Epson Moverio BT-200 and various sensors such as Accelerometer, Flex, and Force etc. that are being developed. A sensing glove was prepared for the user in the augmented reality environment. An environment including alternative, new and up-to-date applications that can be used in augmented and virtual environments was provided for developers with the new hardware and software.
