Im looking any information about getting new hardware working in Second Life. Namely any kind of data glove. I saw past threads about people showing some intrest in getting the P5 Glove working, but the thread didn't lead much of anywhere. I am intrested in hearing from anyone who might be able to help me in this matter. I am more than willing to spend my time and money to see this project off the ground.

Forgot to mention, I already have a HMD and Head tracker working with SL quite well with no complex programming involved. A Data Glove would be the final piece in making a fully immersive VR system. But the Data Glove is going to need some kind of drivers, and this I can't manage myself. Any other VR geeks out there have a say in this matter let me know. :)

Oh absolutely, I am very interested in this subject .. there should be a seperate forum, or heck, let's create a group .. just let me know.

I'd like to work on builds which are more VR friendly as well (in otherwords, don't use 3d textures).
