I have never had the chance of using a data glove or even seeing one close up. The first time that I ever read about it, the article mentioned that the fingers had some sort of "bubbles" in the tips of them that could be "inflated" to provide tactile feedback. I was under the impression that they were something like reverse bubble membrane keys that worked by peizo-electronics. Are there more than one version of the data glove, or is it just that the tactile feedback provided is not good enough to simulate textures, or was the article that I read wrong? ________________________________________________ <>___, / / | ... and he called out and said, "Gabriel, give | /___/ __ / _ __ ' _ / | this man an understanding of the vision." | /\__/\(_/\/__)\/ (_/_(/_/|_ |_______________________________________Dan_8:16_| Keywords: d
