The PowerGlove

Is there someone who forgot the old games, the '80s blast? Well, for all of you who didn't, NES has just launched some unique USB gaming controllers - the Joystick, the PowerPad, the Four Score, and a great Power Glove.

I especially liked the Power Glove, as it features only enhanced capabilities built-in a very interesting glove, a controller I used to dream of when I was just a child.

So, the PowerGlove deserves its name as it offers full access to all 3 axis, rotation, fingers, and buttons in this USB Gamepad, it can be also perfectly used for first person shooters or as a great music input device.

Like I said, it only looks like the '80s, but it is all new millennium with sensors which, by the way, must be 3 to 6 feet away from the glove, and always pointed at it. There should be nothing between the glove and sensors that would block or reflect waves.

The positioning and rotation are easy to do, as you only must push the Center button and you're in the game. But the way you calibrate the fingers is easier, as you only have to make a fist and that's all.
