I really enjoy the idea of glove based game controllers and wanted to try making one myself. The gloves are made with a velostat pad sewn into the palm of each hand and the circuit playground express sewn onto the back of one of the gloves. The velostat acts as a pressure sensor so when the gloves are squeezed it send information to the computer to press the left or right arrow keys based on which hand glove is squeezed.
The cpx on the back of the right hand can be tilted up or down to tell the computer to press the up and down arrow keys respectively. this allows for the gloves to control all 4 arrow keys and allows for the user to play any games that use those 4 keys.
