[comp.robotics] Info on Power Glove

sharkey@robots.ox.ac.uk (Paul Sharkey) (12/18/90)

I am looking for hard info (specs, etc) on the Power Glove. I have a
vague idea of what it's about but details are hard to come by on this
side of the pond.

Any info appreciated.

Paul.

When I was working in New York, I met the people from AGE --
Abrahms/Gentile Entertainment, who designed the PowerGlove for Mattel.
At that time, they were working on a prototype RS-232 interface to allow
computers to use the glove.

You might want to call them and ask if they are selling it, or if they
are looking for people to try it out.
