That's pretty cool! The first thing I thought when I saw the page was "that's one ugly glove" - but I'm sure a commercial version would be much different. This also gave me flashbacks to the PowerGlove for NES, which only worked in that Fred Savage movie about Super Mario 3. |

If you think this looks ugly, you should've seen our very first version. Let's just say they don't teach tailoring in an engineering curriculum :P We actually outsourced this to a seamstress, who was able to fabricate the glove from ground up with conductive threads sewn in.
I think Nintendo was kind of ahead of its time when they released the PowerGlove. I definitely see the merit of a wearable interface today with better batteries and wireless communication technologies. I think Google agrees. The challenge will be how to make it as unobtrusive as possible.
