Finger binary Finger binary Finger binary is a system for counting and displaying binary numbers on the fingers of one or more hands. It is possible to count from 0 to 31 (2−1) using the fingers of a single hand, or from 0 through 1023 (2−1) if both hands are used. In the binary number system, each numerical digit has two possible states (0 or 1) and each successive digit represents an increasing power of two. Note: What follows is but one of several possible schemes for assigning the values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. to fingers, not necessarily the best.
Hand-Over software fills in the motion in between. Even though software makes this easy it still takes a very talented artist to get realistic hands using the key frame method. Another method of adding hand and finger motion is to have the animator or actor wear a data glove or wired glove. These devices very accurately measure and record the position and bend of each finger, thumb, and even the hand. Measurand's "ShapeHand" is made of flexible ribbons and includes 40 Fiber Optic bend/twist sensors. Using a hand motion capture device an animator can play back the full-body data from any
