New "Power Glove" for the PC

Posted by Hemos on from the fist-of-power dept.

friedmud writes "I just saw an interesting technology demo over at Essential Reality. It is of a "glove-like" device that allows you to interact with your computer. In particular the demo(which is very viewable using the CrossOver plugin) having to do with 3D Studio Max was just incredible (almost too incredible - but hey, we'll have to see) - they put together a model of a mouse in seconds by "molding" it using the "glove". It looks like the SDK is out, and the product is supposed to ship soon. News blurbs can be found at: PCWorld, Yahoo"

    Amazing. Osoma bin hidin' accepts responsibility for the 9/11 attacks and claims to have nuclear and biologicsl weapons, and slashdot is posting about an updated nintendo controller!

    amazing.

      Instead of complaining, why don't you post that very story?

      Also, that story is unconfirmed. It is not confirmed by the Afghanistan press that issued the interview, and it is unconfirmed by the U.S. government.

      No, no, no, it goes more like this:

      The worst terrorist attack in American history occurred just two months ago and now we're in the middle of a WAR and people left and right are dying from Anthrax? My *GOD* people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

      The souls of the dead blah blah blah blah I forgot, it goes on from there.

    hi Jizzboy,

    i was thinking of something that can be done with this that would be helpful. then i thought of this:

    you are an admin and you have a bunch of NT servers, you rig up robotic arms and then use the powergloves at home to "three finger salute" restart all those shitty servers.

    there, that is the only thing i would put an electric glove on for that didn't involve my woman.

    i thank you for your attention.
