Re: nintendo power glove

I've bought a few PowerGloves off ebay with hope of rigging them
for various purposes (VR, wearables etc). Ultimatelly the goal would
be to have control over different functions of the OS via gestures,
though it might look "weird" to observers at times when waving your
hand in the empty air to start the web browser. :)

On the other note I've seen quite a few projects on connecting
PowerGloves to PCs via serial and parallel ports (I've got a few 
schematics and parts gathered already) so it really sums down to writing 
a driver. Long ago someone has written a PG driver for Linux, 
I think I have the library somewhere on my disk but havent actually
tried it myself (so many things to do - so little time).
