PowerGlove Put to Good Use

by XXChris Mattera on Apr 22, 2006 at 01:40 PM

Ah, remember the PowerGlove? It was a great idea that didn’t work too well for Nintendo. Austin Weber has performed a very nice modification of the vintage device that interfaces the glove with his computer as a mouse. Austin shows off the glove brilliantly playing Unreal Tournament 2004.

The video and instructions on how you can perform the modification yourself are available at Zerosign.net.

“He mapped the in game controls so that his thumb controls forward motion, his pointer finger controls the trigger and his arm motion controls the camera view.”

Could this be a peek at what the future of gaming will be like with the Revolution controller? Or will the new controller flop like its early predecessor?

In either case, if you play UT2k4, watch out for Austin Weber because he just might pwn you with this thing.
