The power glove - A power glove documentary

Novak (software development) and Tracy Hall (Hardware development) are the makers of the original power glove.

I have just tried the power glove (made by Mattel, PAX. Released In 1989 ) one single time In my life. And that was at a video game event In Sweden In the early 90s. But even back then, I wasn´t that much impressed by the power glove. Cuz It was really clumsy, I also feelt like a dumbass when I used It.

I also thought like this. Why should I buy and use It, when the normal NES controllers are way better? So I didn´t think that much about the power glove after that. Not even the movie "The Wizard", could make me change my opinion about the power glove.

And many, many years later. When I saw AVGN´s the power glove video. I pretty much knew for sure, how fu*ing bad It was and are. But then I heard about the "A power glove documentary" thing, and I had no idea that the power glove had made such an positive impact on the video game industry. 

So I guess even though the power glove sucked balls really bad. It still did some good for the Gaming world In the long run, and that´s pretty much what the A power glove documentary are all about. And from what I´ve have heard, The Power of Glove Team are planing to do a Kickstarter campaign for "A power glove documentary".

So keep your eyes and ears open for that one people!

About  A power glove documentary:
"IT’S SO BAD. The Power of Glove is a documentary that chronicles the history and legacy of the Power Glove, a 1989 Nintendo controller that promised to forever change the way humankind interacted with technology. Originally released by Mattel, the Power Glove was the first mass-marketed, gesture-based video game controller, and its hype was immense.

Immediately after its release, however, gamers were disappointed by the Power Glove, and critics panned it as a worthless gimmick. Yet unlike many gimmicks and critical failures of the past, the Power Glove has not been simply swept under the rug.

Over two decades after its release, the Power Glove continues to resonate with video gaming and technology fans, becoming the focus of art pieces, songs, videos, hacking projects, and other forms of cultural repurposing. The Power of Glove is the story of how and why the Power Glove lives on."
