The Wii remote: forget about it. PS3 sixaxis controller: no good. Any other accelerometer based remotes: antiquated. If you want to get into the real world of accelerometer based gameplay/action, you really need to start saving around five hundred of those little one dollar bills for something rather cool. The cool thing in question is the Acceleglove, developed by Maryland-based AnthroTronix, this glove comes laced with accelerometers all over every inch. Obviously those developing games or unique control schemes for whatever it is they want to control could unleash untold potential with gloves like these. Considering similar incarnations of gloves in the same genre can run as much as $5,000, I’d take the $500 deal and run. The draw for developers is that you don’t even have to use the included drivers, simply write your own. Connections to earthly computing machines is done via USB. Stocking stuffer anyone?
