	A guy from NASA came here and did a demonstration on Head Mounted
	Display technology that they are working on.  With it they had a 
	glove like you mentioned, and were using some software created
	by Warren Robinett (remember the old Atari 2600 game *Adventure*?),
	to move around in a 3D world, using the glove as a controller.  The
	only problem that I've heard about the head mounted display units is
	that you can get terrible headaches, because your eyes are trying
	to focus somewhere off in the distance but the actual image is 
	right in front of you.

	Also, read "The Media Lab".  It's about some work that was/is going
	on at MIT.  In it they talk about their version of the glove.

	This I'll believe when I see it (wear it?).
