There is a 3D input device at NASA Ames in Cupertino, Ca. which is a glove to be worn on one hand. With this glove and a headset for viewing, one can interact with objects in a 3D virtual world. I am looking for a reference for this device/system for my Masters Thesis. If you know of a reference please send me its location via email so that I can get it. Thanks, Jim Kleck (jimk@saturn.ucsc.edu)
