Smart gloves have been under development during the last 40 years to support human-computer interaction based on hand and finger movement. Despite the many devoted efforts and the multiple advances in related areas, these devices have not become mainstream yet. Nevertheless, during recent years, new devices with improved features have appeared, being used for research purposes too. This paper provides a review of current commercial smart gloves focusing on three main capabilities: (i) hand and finger pose estimation and motion tracking, (ii) kinesthetic feedback, and (iii) tactile feedback. For the first capability, a detailed reference model of the hand and finger basic movements (known as degrees of freedom) is proposed. Based on the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews for the period 2015–2021, 24 commercial smart gloves have been identified, while many others have been discarded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria: currently active commercial and fully portable smart gloves providing some of the three main capabilities for the whole hand. The paper reviews the technologies involved, main applications and it discusses about the current state of development. Reference models to support end users and researchers comparing and selecting the most appropriate devices are identified as a key need.

Open and commercial tools to generate a digital interactive story in journalism: systematic review and features analysisThe constant technological advances are transferred to the area of journalism with significant contributions to the production of innovative formats adapted to the multimedia, interactive and multiplatform scenario. Since interactive narrative journalism is one of the trends of digital journalism, it is necessary to approach the offer of services that facilitate the journalistic creation of dynamic and interactive journalistic contents.The main objective is to analyze web programs and applications for the creation and publication of interactive digital narratives. Based on the PRISMA systematic review methodology, for the period 2015-2021, a total of 18 programs and web applications have been identified and analyzed for their value in interactive creation in digital journalism. This result came from the filtering of the advanced find of 1788 articles on 4 scientific database, from which were selected 28 final articles and of the filtering of direct find of 122 results on the google browser, from which were selected 58 webpages. 28 articles and 58 webpages sum 86 results which is the critical mass of data analyzed obtaining a total of 18 programs and web applications showed in this article. Five are open-source applications, which invite the community to continue developing improvements that make these tools innovative and adaptable to future changes. Our study reveals that there are highly valued functionalities, such as the capacity for data analysis and teamwork, among others that allow the integration of 360º multimedia, the management of the interaction map, the preview in different output formats, such as tablet or mobile. However, there is a lack of journalistic roles in these tools that let them coordinate and optimize the publication process to produce the final news.

La Inteligencia Artificial es ya una parte más de los procesos industriales, entrando también a formar parte de procesos comunicativos como la producción periodística. El papel de la IA no consiste en una automatización en el más puro sentido de la repetición, sino que su intervención se incorpora en las distintas áreas de trabajo que forman parte de la profesión del periodista. La función de la IA abarca generación de datos, tratamiento de datos, producción, promoción, moderación, marketing y difusión. Los resultados analizados surgen de la revisión bibliográfica con Google Académico del término “journalism with Artificial Intelligence tools” junto con iniciativas de uso de IA en los medios de comunicación. Este artículo busca ubicar en qué punto se encuentra la utilización de la IA en el periodismo y dar continuidad a una investigación de la integración de IA en los medios y la adaptación del periodista a esta nueva realidad.
