Wireless Motion-Sensing Gaming Glove for the Commodore 64

http://www.jammingsignal.com/leif/commodore/glove/index.html

„The sensor on the glove is based on the SoMo by SonicWear, a wearable Arduino-compatible device that is intended for creating interactive dance and music performance.  SoMo contains a 9-DOF accelerometer/gyro/magnetometer, microprocessor, battery, and XBee transmitter and receiver pair. Since it’s Arduino-compatible, it can easily be reprogrammed for custom applications.“

An introduction to wireless charging

“ An introduction to wireless charging: changing the way we think about power

Smartphones are changing the way we live our lives, both online and off. With each new model, we are used to getting more processor speed, new features and programs, and entire new ways of using them. Despite increased capabilities, battery life simply hasn’t kept up. For most users, phones are sending out sad bleeps by lunchtime, signaling a low battery.

Wireless charging is set to change this. We want to eradicate the problem of the dead battery.“
