In 2002, Essential Reality released the $150 P5 glove controller to the market. A so-called "3D virtual controller," it detects hand motions, finger movements, and gripping, translating them to mouse inputs! In theory.

And to those asking if my lights interfere with the receiver, the answer is "not that I can tell." It's just that finicky to use.
I had problems in the past when I used CFLs, but all of my lights are LEDs now and they don't interfere with the other infrared devices I have. Even my wonky 1980s PCjr infrared keyboards function perfectly under the same lighting used in this video!
To be sure, I also tried the P5 without any of lights on at all, just the glow of the CRT, and results were unchanged. My experience is echoed by old user reviews I've read, too. It is quite simply... odd.
