But you can disassemble it all down to just the glove, and the main circuit board from inside the tower (about the size of the Zaurus again), getting rid of the optical thinguses, and it works fine for just the buttons on the top of the glove and the flex sensors. I don't know if the circuit board can be cut down any more, but you could conceivably just repurpose the flex sensors themselves if you were really into it. Old P5 gloves are the cheapest place to get them, I'd wager. By default, the P5 works like a USB mouse, with two of the fingers being the left and right mouse buttons, and it tracks in X and Y. An SDK is available for Windows and Linux to take better advantage of it. Note that you should calibrate the glove to your hand in Windows before you start using it seriously.
