MAKE: Blog: PowerGlove Mouse

PowerGlove Mouse

This is crazy, I just recieved my Powerglove off eBay and another Gyration mouse for a VR glove project and Leadingzero built one! - "The time has come to bring new life into our old friend and to welcome him back as a productive member of society with the 'Powerglove Mouse'. 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." [via] Link.
