You should keep in mind that lots of people in Japan are accessing the web on their phones. I think that's why so many sites there are still very simple, without a lot of bells and whistles.
"One new peripheral, Essential Reality's wireless P5 glove, allows its wearer to move and act within a gaming world through an optical tracking system. For example, a player wearing the glove in the first-person shooter game Unreal Tournament 2003 can depress a trigger with the flick of a finger. "
Correct me if I'm wrong here...but any user of a regular mouse--or a real life BFG--can also "depress a trigger with the flick of a finger".
Seriously though, I saw this glove at E3, and it looked interesting. But once you learn how to use it, does it really provide more finely tuned control than a mouse/keyboard config? Or a PS2 joypad? Or does it just look cool in a sorta geek chic Johnny Mnemonic way?
