Not satisfied with the Microsoft Kinect, Ben attempts to build a Minority-Report-like glove to control his Xbox.
Ben examines what he doesn't like about the Kinect and what he would change.
To build his glove, Ben obtains the MPU-6050 motion sensor with gyroscope and experiments with it.
Ben breaks down the aspects of programming required and figures out some hand motions.
Ben programs in the hand motions for the power glove and details some of the challenges.
Ben wires up the glove, Alyson sews in the buttons, and then it is demonstrated.
