  Has anybody else heard of this ???

    A company (don't remember their name) is making a mouse replacement
  "electronic glove" like pointing device.  Supposedly the story goes
  it has 100 switches in it and plugs into a mouse port.  It is a infrared
  device , measuring the distance between your hand and the screen. It even
  can keep track of relative up/down left/right position of your hand. It
  can detect literally _millions_ of positions of hand and fingers.

  and get this...... price only $50.

Just imagine the game potentials.... grabing a ball in mid-air, use a 3-d
 CAD package and move points by grabbing them.


  WOW !!!!!!!
