- By all means grab one. I paid $29.95 for mine at a local Toys 'R Us,
- other people have bought them for less, $20 or $25. Hooking up the
- glove to a parallel port is simple, and the instructions for parallel
- port hookup, and C source code for testing it out, are available by
- FTP (somebody want to toss address in here?), on CompuServe in library
- 13 of the COMART forum, or for that matter that same file is in the
- book (in print and the included disk) "Virtual Reality Creations".
-
- Also, if you read this newgroup regularly you'll see updates from Jim
- Brain on the non-profit project to build a serial interface box for
- both Pglove and LCD shutter glasses.

- Excellent, thoughful, and thought provoking. Highly recommended, I'm
- sure you'll hear the same from others.
