DIY - USB Data Gloves with Control Device!
Here’s a really cool USB Data Gloves. I am not sure what you can use it for, but here’s the link to instructions on how to make one.
This is the reconstruction of a “Fakespace GL-8001” device with fully compatible serial interface via USB. This device fits into a very small SubD adapter housing, consumes low power (max. 20 mA), supports USB standby, may support a USB remote wakeup feature later, is much faster in responsiveness than the GL-8001, and the electronic components are fairly cheap, lower than 5 €.

Check out this cool Multi-Touch Multimedia device. This could be a cool combination of touch, sound, and video for future video game controls.
MultiTouch is the ability of an input controller to detect multiple fingers simultaneously. Multitouch input devices are just starting to be seen in the real world, rather than just in the movies (the most famous being “Minority Report”). MAKE magazine has even declared them the The Future of Interfaces.
For Maker Faire 2007, I propose to demonstrate a variety of graphical, musical, video, and browser-based applications that I’ve developed that show some of the unique capabilities of use of MultiTouch controllers. Below is a picture of the custom controller I’ve built containing 3 Fingerworks iGesture pads (each capable of detecting multiple fingers simultaneously with excellent resolution and responsiveness), and a JLCooper CS32 with lots of sliders and buttons for additional control.
