In this thesis, we propose and present a multimodal interaction system that can provide a natural way for human-computer interaction. The core idea of this system is to help users to interact with the machine naturally by recognizing various gestures from the user from a wearable device. To achieve this goal, we have implemented a system including both hardware solution and gesture recognizing approaches. For the hardware solution, we designed and implemented a data glove based interaction device with multiple kinds of sensors to detect finger formations, touch commands and hand postures. We also modified and implemented two gesture recognizing approach based on support vector machine (SVM) as well as the lookup table. The detailed design and information is presented in this thesis. In the end, the system achieves supporting over 30 kinds of touch commands, 18 kinds of finger formation, and 10 kinds of hand postures as well as the combination of finger formation and hand posture with the recognition rate of 86.67% as well as the accurate touch command detection. We also evaluated the system from the subjective user experience.
