[Wear-Hard] Seeking info on the Rockwell Trekker & Computer Products & Services (Xybernaut)

[Apergy at aol.com]

Hello,
 
Might anyone be familiar with the link between  the Rockwell Trekker and 
CPSI (Xybernaut)?  Also, are any of these  wearables available for sale?  
Older Koppin HMDs are also of  interest.
 
Thanks,
 
Randy

"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."

Any one know how this is difference  from the P5 glove?

Beside of obvious that it cost $500 instead of the  $130($50 on clearance) 
and uses Accelerometers instead of IR and Flex  sensors.

But difference between the Acceleglove and P5 seems to be like  the 
difference between a ball mouse and and optical mouse.


And has  Accelerometers improved that much from since the Wii came out?? 
They Wiimote  had to have a IR camera put in it to be able to tell where on 
the screen you  are pointing.? As any one that played Wii golf can tell you 
06's accelerometer  tech can't track fine movements.? 



Like Robert Spence said when  talking about Identification by pointing: the 
'teletouch' facility
"Indeed,  the realization of a pointing-direction sensor is considerably 
eased by the  comparatively low accuracy which can be tolerated (approximately 
+/-2 degrees)  given that conformatory feedback (the ""finger-print) allows 
errors to be  corrected by a small movement of the hand."
