Power Glove + Arduino

Anyone old enough to have owned an NES when it was the prime system knows how awesome the Power Glove could have been. Alas, it was just a controller bolted to a neat-looking glove. Now, 20 years later, Matt Mechtley has done the impossible and has officially made the Power Glove cool again.

Using an Arduino, a Bluetooth module and an accelerometer, Matt can now manipulate all kinds of data using the Power Glove. Hell, I can only imagine the possibilities when paired up with Pure Data. If you dare make your own, Matt has posted all the code and instructions you could possibly need.
