What a great movie.....
"I love my Power Glove....."
Hey, keep your power gloves off her, pal!
Wow, there's almost no comments on this epic article
with great power glove comes great responsibility glove.
Stimpy, are you in there!
I love the power glove... it's so bad!
Wow, really cool mod. Exactly what the power glove seemed like it would be from the big deal Nintendo made about it when it first came out.
It's a popular misconception that Nintendo made the Power Glove, but it's actually a 3rd party peripheral that was marketed by Mattel. I blame The Wizard.
The Wizard was a 90 minute commercial.
The Power Glove was not made because of the movie, the movie was made to advertise the Power Glove.
Why not just tape a wii controller on your hand, hell of a lot easier.
But it won't make you look as cool as this guy.
Not really a new idea but the bluetooth addition is cool.

Now he's playing with POWER!
wouldnt it be easier just craming in a wii controller?
Yeah, but there's no fun in doing it that way. This, this is a challenge.
It's true that a wiimote would be an option -- I considered it when I started the project. The problem is how to get the bend sensor data to transmit over the wiimote's bluetooth. I figured doing it this way would be easier, and more fun anyway!
Woo.. Power Glove.. check out this song:

Holy crap! 20 years - that makes me feel damn old. I had one when they first came out.
No kidding, can't believe it's been 20 years. I wanted one but had already blown my money on a NES Advantage.
"Nintendo PowerGlove"
huh? color me confused... this whole time i thought it was made by Mattel.
Man looks like a young Ryan Block
if he can make another power glove for his left hand then that would be better (the bocing game would work better)
the cat wants the dude to stop the creation and the madness lol
"Don't go up the steps, go DOWN the steps!"
Smell the Glove! Smell it!
He's using Unity 3D!!! Sweet!!!!
Yo dawg, I heard you like controllers, so we put a controller in your controller so you can control what you control.

Rejoice, my friends. The day has come.
We're finally one step closer to the internet-browsing system made famous in that cinema-changing film, Johnny Mnemonic.
hey look hes using a MAC not a PC :P
All he's doing is triggering an animation with movement. Where is the real-time tracking? Where is the seamless interaction with a virtual world? He might as well just use buttons. This is no different then most gimmicky Wii games. They don't make you feel like you're interacting a virtual world. Instead you're just moving in pre-defined ways and hoping the computer knows what you want to do. Weak sauce for such a cool device.
Haha, "I hope I've shown you how easy it is to do this".
Yeah, reaaaaaaaal easy.
I wish I knew how to do all this stuff...
Jeez 20 already. I remember the last time it made a somewhat comeback when people were on the home VR craze and would hack these apart.
self love with the power glove! he should make sure there's enough lube.
I cant believe Wolverine has a bad-ass power glove. Maybe it shows up in the next movie.
Kinda makes you wonder what they will be sticking in Wiimotes in 20 years time... when I'M old "/
*Shudder*
