The problem is it's _your_ project, why should _I_ design it for you?  The
way your first request read, it was like you were asking me to do your
homework.

But I'll give you a good pointer:
     1- Buy a Nintendo Power Glove
     2- Look in back issues of Byte Magazine.  Somewhere in there is a
        sidebar telling how to interface the power glove to your PC.  The
        PG includes an ultrasonic 3D position-sensing system.  It's all built
        and ready to program!
