$13 Virtual Reality glove, that can play Descent.

this is a cool gizmo i have one (and was happy to pay $120 US for it), and it's a no brainer at $13.
knock thyself out.

btw: since i last posted about this glove, there is now a simple Joystick emulator program for it (among other programs on my P5 community page). it was only a small bit of quick programming, but it can recognize 4 or so axis as joystick axis, and you can probabaly play around with the axis to button emulation to get it sliding in all axis as well. that's 6DOF baby.
the guy who made the emulator actually made it so he could play D3 ironicaly, it's a small world.

in otherwords, you can play Descent 3 with it in mousemode or joystick mode. i havn't tried joystick mode with it yet, coz i can't find my D3 cds.

Hmm... the folks at Lionhead made a Black and White patch specifically for this device... that could be interesting...

yeah it's pretty cool, you grab the terrain and pull it towards you to move.
