Remember those gesture control gloves Tom Cruise wore in Minority Report? Well, starting in 2010, youll be able to work similar magic with your fingertips thanks to the new Peregrine gesture glove.
The unusual [COLOR=#6C8C37 ! important][COLOR=#6C8C37 ! important]computer [COLOR=#6C8C37 ! important]controller[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] features over 30 touch points which can be used to interact with your games and other [COLOR=#6C8C37 ! important][COLOR=#6C8C37 ! important]software[/COLOR][/COLOR] like youve never done before. Each glove can be custom calibrated to your own unique touch and hand size, and each touch point can be mapped to your computer keys using the included configuration software. Since the glove emulates keys on your keyboard, you can play just about any game with it although its probably best for RTS and MMORPG games. But Id still like to try playing MAME with one.
The military-grade glove attaches to your computer with a breakaway magnetic connector pod thats designed to breakaway in case you get too raucous when thrashing around. And since its a standard HID-compliant USB device you can use it with Windows, Mac OS and Linux computers without a problem. (though the configuration software is only coming for Windows and Macs).
