animation | Digital Trends [2]”

Back in college, my friend Ken [3] thought that the Nintendo Power Glove [4]
would be great for virtual reality applications, and I think he even went so
far as to obtain one, but I don't recall it ever being that great for his
intended purposes.

It also appears that even for its intended purposes, it failed.

But it's great to see someone finding a unique use for it.
