Essential Reality P5 Glove

The P5 Glove from Essential Reality allows you to actually 'pick up' objects in a video game by the simple movement of your hand. It seems like a rehash of the original Nintendo’s Power Glove controller, but this one is mostly geared towards the PC and tracks movements via a separate screen that you place in front of the monitor. I tried a simple 1st-person shooter game and it worked rather well. They market it to be used for industrial design and Web browsing in addition to gaming. I don’t know about the first two, but the gaming aspect should work well, as long as you aren’t playing anything too complex. The glove will also work with any game console that has a USB port, such as the Xbox or PS2. $149. www.essentialreality.com
