Hand Band Wireless gloves

Post by fireslayer26 »

Was just wondering if there was any way to hack something like this for use with a PC? I have no idea, but its the first time I've seen it. Looks like it uses flex sensors and maybe fingertip sensors?

I doubt it's that sophisticated at that price.

I wasn't thinking so either, but was just curious if anyone could open up the wireless receiver and find out how it receives and interprets the signals.

Probably more trouble than its worth, and I doubt the gloves would even fit a full-sized hand.

Still, it was worth looking at the box art just for lolz.

I have one of these.

Each of the tips just has a slim oval shaped button on it. You press it against a surface hard enough to press it, and it makes a note.
