Turn a PowerGlove into a gyroscopic mouse
Relegated to basements and junk closets around the world, it's time to resurrect the Power Glove, transforming it from a marginally successful gaming peripheral into a 21st century futuristic gyro-mouse.
Power Glove hacker leadingzero writes, "With this hack I can strap on the Powerglove and have total control over the mouse cursor on my computer. I can control the cursor’s position with a wave of my hand and activate the mouse clicks by simply bending my fingers - a beautiful integration of old and new." Follow his step-by-step instructions to make your own, or just live vicariously by watching the video... over and over again.

It can also assimilate all forms of technology and organic beings. Resistance is Futile.

if he had somesort of covering over the wires [even without, it still looks awesome], i'd pay up to a $100 - 120 for one of those, yes I would.
lol, the power glove: resistance is futile. If some company launched this with that tag line, and made the glove considerably less bulky, they'd make a fourtune I predict.

Am I the only person that digs the look of cluttered wires? I mean, it gives it that "H. R. Giger" look.
They just need to fix the horrid white breadboards.

I bought something like this once. It was a waste of money... yes, it was WAY too small for my hand, but it didn't have very good control over a game, anyway. Fun to play with, I guess. Finger bending was the worst, as the hand didn't fit right
