These sound like a FAQ's but I haven't found the answer from reading...

1. What hardware additions are needed to enable a Indigo R4k to use a
powerglove or equivalant input device?

2. What are the specific capabilities of a powerglove or alternative
to determine hand gestures?  Can it detect position as well as
orientation of the hand? Can it measure positions of each finger, each
joint of the finger? How about sideways movement of the fingers or
finger spread?

3. Have software drivers been written for the powerglove? If so, where
can I find them?


Thanks for the information.
