It's a sealed box with inward-pointing gloves attached to holes in the walls. A researcher sticks his hands in the gloves to manipulate things in the box.

The box can contain potentially dangerous stuff (biologicals, poisonout chemicals), or can just contain stuff you don't want contaminated from the outside air (Nitrogen atmosphere, archaeological samples, moon rocks).

Googling "glove box" in the image search will show you lots of examples.

I'm not familiar with gloveboxes outside a car, could you please explain what this does and why. I'm not trying to be negative about your project, but my background is far removed from the biotech engineering world and I'd like to learn something.  It's not clear to me why you need to monitor the temp and humidity or identify threats inside a box holding gloves (if it does hold gloves).
