Anyone seen this yet? It's a bluetooth based pair of gloves that works by touching buttons on your fingers. Not exactly a VR glove but maybe you nuts could think of some applications for it? (Either with or without taking it apart first lol)

Only uses Bluetooth 2.1 by the look of things, which is kind of a shame as Bluetooth 4.0 would use up a lot less battery power. Oh well...

Wow I didn't see this before, they claim 80 hour battery life due to use of a lithium ion battery.

That's a hell of a lot better than my old bluetooth headset which only lasted 4 hours at best.

Then again its just a remote control not a speaker.

I think these are called "pinch-gloves" but have limited use for gaming or VR.

Also, if you want to play with something like this on the PC, you can just get a Peregrine:
