Hi, I am looking for information on a so called datasuit. From what I understand it can be worn by a person and that their movements can be recorded by a computer. I am interested in whether this suit could be used to control a 3D model for computer animation purposes. I would greatly appreciate any information on the whereabouts and theory behind such a suit. I would I also be interested in information on any device that could assist in the manipulation of 3D models for animation purposes. Thanks in advance.

It is amusing that a virtue is made of the vice of chastity; and it's a
pretty odd sort of chastity at that, which leads men straight into the
sin of Onan, and girls to the waning of their color.
