Does anyone have information on the capabilities of the Mattel "Power
Glove" for the Nintendo system?  An interface specification would be
very nice.  This toy sells for about $90, I hear, and seems like an
obvious candidate as a poor man's virtual reality peripheral.  I have
seen it mentioned various places, most recently in the "NASA Tech
Briefs" article entitled "Computerized Reality Comes of Age."

Thanks in advance for any info and sorry if this has been discussed
recently; I haven't had much time to monitor the group.  Thanks again!
