that is fucking awsome!
i wish i could get one of them.
my dad said he got one of them. but then he also said he got pissed off at it because he broke one of the sensors. so he caught it on fire with gasoline and firecrackers. haha.

i love the powerglove, it’s so bad.

Of course it would have been easier to use a wii controller. The wii controller can already do everything he inserted into the powerglove straight out of the factory.

However, that wouldn’t have been a tenth as fun.

@collin cerbus
I actually considered doing that when I started the project. The primary concerns were that 1) I was worried about fitting the wiimote guts inside the Power Glove’s housing and 2) I’d need to do some funkiness to get the bend sensor data, which was more important to me than the IR sensor.

And really, anonymous is right — it was more fun, too!

After all these years and its still gay..

I used a power glove to fist your mom

I freaking loved the power glove, had one myself, and still can’t figure it out to this day.

i love the detail on the smaller roadblocks, eg. putting the hole in the accelerometer vs. wedging it against the screw, taking female pin headers from an old computer, strengthening cable connections w/thru holes

good tips :]

now combine that with this…
