History

>The Sayre Glove, created by Electronic Visualization Laboratory in 1977, was the first wired glove.[1]

>In 1982 Thomas G. Zimmerman filed a patent (US Patent 4542291) on an optical flex sensor mounted in a glove to measure finger bending.[2] Zimmerman worked with Jaron Lanier to incorporate ultrasonic and magnetic hand position tracking technology to create the Power Glove and Data Glove, respectively (US Patent 4988981, filed 1989).[3] The optical flex sensor used in the Data Glove was invented by Young L. Harvill who scratched the fiber near the finger joint to make it locally sensitive to bending.[4]

>One of the first wired gloves available to home users in 1987 was the Nintendo Power Glove. This was designed as a gaming glove for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It had a crude tracker and finger bend sensors, plus buttons on the back. The resistive sensors in the PowerGlove were also used by hobbyists to create their own datagloves

its been literally 30+ years anon

Do you have any Oats brother I am quite famished.

Ok you clearly don't know what I am talking about. The power glove used ultra sonics to determine where it was and shitty carbon based flex sensors to figure out how much the finger bending worked.

The original Data Glove used light and magnetic sensors to figure out where it was not that the last part is all to relevant my point is that the power glove was a knocked down cheaper version with ability to produce tech much easier and for cheaper now I fail to see why we can't make a far superior version for cheaper.
