[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Virtual Environment with AMIGA

dwillis@athena.mit.edu (Richard M Willis) (11/09/90)

Anyone do any work interfacing a Mattel Power Glove (for the Nintendo video game system) with the AMIGA. BYTE article in August (I think) suggested that the Glove could be used as an inexpensive position and orientation device. Wonderful input device for games or science, don't you think ? I have been working on it for the past few weeks, but would like to share info with others.

Tensor Productions has been marketing a PowerGlove interface for the Amiga
for about 6 months now. I know nothing else about it. However....

Did anyone else see Tensor's ad in the December AmigaWorld? To wit:

Cyberscape (TM)

(some high points from the Ad)

Object Dynamics - Collision Detection, Object Hold and Release, Object
Hierarchies

Event Triggering - Timed Sequences (and more)

Input - Supports Live! Digitizer & Second Mouse

And quite a bit more. The ad is on page 159. Price is $245.00 (special
introductory price). Yes, I'm probably going to get it, although it will be
some time after Christmas.
