These New VR Gloves Will Turn You Into Iron Man

And probably some other stuff but mainly: Iron Man! The new tech from Control VR has recently launched on Kickstarter (via Engadget) and is aiming for around a £200 ($360) price tag, a lot less than similar gloves.

The new system uses microsensors to detect changes in inertia that track the movement of arms and fingers. The glowing circle on the chest I’m assuming is a happy accident and not a trademark-bothering design flourish. The system will launch with 20 demo apps as well as an open source SDK which can be used to create software for Oculus Rift, Google Glass and Parrot AR drones.
