"Data gloves may have come a long way since the days of the Power
Glove, but they've also tended to get pretty expensive as more and
more tech found their way into 'em. The folks at AnthroTronix look to
be doing their small part to change that with their new Acceleglove,
however, which packs a not too crazy price tag of $500 and, according
to the company, all the features you'd expect to find on a $5,000
glove. Chief among those features are accelerometers on each finger,
which can track precise gestures like pinching and, as you can see in
the video after the break, are more than up to all-important the task
of controlling a robotic arm. Best of all, the glove comes complete
with an open source SDK to let you get as much out of the glove as
you're willing to put into it."
