I recently read an interesting article in the 12-4-89 issue of Design News
about the Mattel (TM) Power Glove, which was designed to work with 
Nintendo video games.  They got the idea from the VPL Data Glove (about
a $4,000 peripheral) which is a glove covered with sensors to detect
hand and finger motion.

The Power Glove (TM) is programmable as to which hand or finger motions
produce the desired effect. I can post more info if requested.

This Power Glove only costs about $75, and I thought it would make an
incredibly interesting alternative controller for the Mac.

After reading about the Sega glasses, this one seemed like a natural.

Does anyone out there have some ideas on how to interface this gadget?
