   Yeah, I found those companies - but it is so f****ing expensive ;-)   
      
   The idea with VR game is mutch better, but since I am from middle Europe, it

   Now - I have an idea to connect glove to some kind of visual and audio   
   representation software (I can write it myself with friends, when I'll now   
   how the glove actually works with PC) and then to make some kind "videoart"   
   performance controlled by the movements of human hand... And one of my   
   friends studying some kind of biology then wants to try to use it with   
   monkeys... but, since this is kinda weird stuff, noone from our university
