- Jim,
-
- You have obviously done some excellent work with this glove/glassses
- interface, and for this I salute you. However, one question still
- remains in my mind as to whether or not I should buy this thing, and I
- think that it is one that everyone should consider before purchasing
- an interface.
-
- The question is: How reliable is it -- that is, how consistent is it?
-
- In this I mean -- does it have bugs or glitches?
-
- Are there any tests or benchmarks we could see?
-
- How about a comparison with the original AGE box on accuracy of
- samples and positioning? Is there any way to test the box's accuracy?
-
- I ask this because I think that no product should reach market without
- proper benchmark testing and this, while admittedly not an everyday
- product that has a benchmarking suite published for it, is no
- exception.
-
- I ask everyone to consider what I have said here, and play devil's
- advocate with the purpose of a better end result for everyone, a
- better product.
-
