I had a Buddy over, and he wipped it out of his bag at one point.

none the less, what he showed me was quite cool, although it seemed to need a few tweeks, the glove is very nice, the fabric fits onn nicely, it bends, twists, its just very flexible, i loved it. and i tried it onn a game (namely: half life) it seemed too easy to use compared to the keyboard that i use now.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/Dec 18th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/
Yep that's why it's hand washable...we tested how the glove would fare in simulated urine too...I just hope it never comes to that... :)]]>Dec 18th 2009 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/

Seems like it would be a fairly big step in the wrong direction trying to hit spots on your finger rather than using a keyboard.

I can't think of a single game where this is a killer app. I WANT to like it, I really do... I just don't see using it. Maybe if they showed it in action I'd have more of an "a-ha!" moment. Don't get me wrong, this is cool stuff, I'm just trying to figure out why I care.]]>Dec 18th 2009 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/

Hi Brent - thanks for the reply! You and the other gentleman make some good arguments. Are there places where people can "test drive" the glove? $130 price tag is too high to buy on spec... I'd love to take it for a spin though.

Thanks,
Andy]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/

Also, what about one for the right hand for movement and other functions?

Other models for the right hand with various levels of functionality will eventually release. I commented a bit more on this below.

As for the button thing...well...ask Engadget I guess. :)]]>Dec 19th 2009 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/Dec 18th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/ BTWm I love when they say "mil'spec'ed" like that somehow converys indestructibility. What is it mil-specced to: 30 below zero?" If so, I know of some bloggers in Antarctica that would love this glove :)
Keep it in the parka and not fumble around with keys,. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/
This version isn't designed for macros but you could easily set it up to do macros using third party software. Our reason for no macros was so that the PEREGRINE wouldn't be disqualified for gaming tournament use. (Don't you love how I capitalize PEREGRINE all the time? It's like I am just talking then yell PEREGRINE!!! and switch back to normal hehe)

Our military spec is actually on the sensors themselves. The finger sensors were designed so that a person could dig a ditch or climb a rope while wearing the glove and the sensors wouldn't break. They are VERY tough. The fabric on the military gloves is more durable and bulky, like leather and stuff. I wish I could find indestructible military grade Lycra hehe That being said, it would work well in cold weather too although this particular model isn't designed for that. :)

Hope this answers your questions, thanks for your interest. ]]>Dec 19th 2009 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/I like how it also has ventilation btw, that's well thought of, the detachable magnetic, the ventilation, the washability, and 3 sizes, all pretty clever.
One bummer is the price though, it's a bit steep for an incidental gaming device at $130 pre-order and an extra $20 retail, but on the other hand, it gives some exclusivity and if it's quality materials then it might be worth it if you are interested into such a device, it would not be nice to pay let's say $60 and have the thing fall apart after a month, but still, the gaming crowd has a limited budget.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/
I hear you man, we will eventually be rolling out a right handed glove for the lefties who use the mouse with their left hand. For our initial models we had to stick to a limited number of SKU / versions to keep manufacturing complexities reasonable. We aren't a mega corporation like Sony or something, but as we grow we will be able to offer new types of gloves, and right handed is definitely in the works. Maybe one day we could even launch a Hello Kitty glove...awesome!

If you take good care of it this thing will last you a long time. The pod is nigh indestructible. The glove itself should last quite a while if you don't abuse it, but if something happens replacement gloves will be available for around $30 or $35 dollars.

I know people have a limited budget, I wish it could be cheaper but we put tons of work into this and manufacturing fabrics and electronics integrated together ain't easy! Like anything, as our manufacturing volume increases the price point should drop a bit. I have asked myself --- would I pay $130 - $150 for this? As I click away with my $100 gaming mouse I know the answer. :) Once you have tried it, I think you will find it to be worth it. And nothing is cooler than making an A-Ok sign or thumbs up to finish your enemy off :)

Thanks for your insightful comments, I hope this helped.]]>Dec 19th 2009 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/peregrine-gaming-glove-modeled-calibrated-and-demoed-on-video/
