I just read the article in the July issue of Byte about Data Gloves. My question is about the side note about converting Mattles Power Glove for use on the PC. This is something that I would like to try, but I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully done this. The article gives the brief outline but not any specifics about what to do after it's all wired up. Any information, tips, or pointers in the right direction, are appreciative. Thanks in advance.

After reading the July issue of Byte, in particular the article on the Data gloves, I am excited by what it had to say. I am now trying to create my own version with the Nintindo Power Glove. I am running into problems however in the specifics of how to start. The basics of wiring it up, I haven't a problem with, it is more configureing it to a AT comp. I would be interested in talking to anyone who has done this. Since I am not familiar with assembly language, the sample code from Byte only brought up more questions. Once again, I would enjoy talking with anyone who has a working Power Glove and has written code for it. Thanks in advance. Andrew Hunt University of Illinois Press (anh01033@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu)

Maybe more, I don't know. Anyway, the bottom line is that taking apart your PowerGlove so that you can attach it to your PC may be more trouble than it's worth, since you will "soon" be able to buy a useful version of the PowerGlove for not too much more than you paid for the PowerGlove. Of course, how soon is "soon", that is the question. -- Chris Shaw University of Alberta cdshaw@cs.UAlberta.ca Now with new, minty Internet flavour! CatchPhrase: Bogus as HELL !

I still think its kind of a rip off considering the power glove can do this now but they don't want us to know how :( -- ____________________________________ j.surine@Wichita.NCR.COM (Jim Surine) | | NCR Peripheral Products Division | I did not say this, I was not here | work (316)636-8586 home (316)721-6280 /_____________________________________|

Can someone tell me if this rumoured computer-compatible version of the PowerGlove is functionally the same as the current Nintendo version? I mean, are they essentially the same glove, or are they going to jazz it up a bit (higher data rate, increased finger flexion/hand position/hand orientation precision)? You see, I've got a friend on holiday in the U.S. who is going to try to get me a PowerGlove. Now if this new glove isn't really going to give me any functional improvement over the old one I don't mind trying to hack together an interface to my Sun, based on the info in Byte (providing it's possible :-), but if the new one is going to be a much better product, then I'll phone my friend right now to cancel the order. By the way, just to ease my mind, has anyone out there hooked a PowerGlove up to a Sun Sparcstation? -- Jonathan Jonathan Rice, jorice@cs.tcd.ie

The official title of the product is "VPL/AGE Power Glove (TM) Education Support Program". The estimated retail price of the unit is $150->$200. There will probably be four interfaces available RS-232, IBM Compatible card, PS/2 and ADB. There will be 5 degrees of position plus 2 bits per finger. From the information I have received it sounds like they are doing a redesign job, but it will be the same basic glove technology as the Power Glove. Since an interface is included in the package, its seems like a reasonable price. Mark Green, mark@cs.ualberta.ca
