Hi,

I am looking for information on a so called datasuit.  From what I
understand it can be worn by a person and that their movements can be
recorded by a computer.  I am interested in whether this suit could be
used to control a 3D model for computer animation purposes.

I would greatly appreciate any information on the whereabouts and
theory behind such a suit. 

I would I also be interested in information on any device that could assist in the manipulation of 3D models for animation purposes.

Thanks in advance.
