I spent all morning tracking them down (I'm in Australia, so I *really* don't want to see my phone bill :-) 1. Interlink: these guys make Force Sensitive Resistors. The resistors vary in price from US $8 to US $20. Their address is: 5511 Cale Arena Carpiteria California 93013 Phone number: Voice - 805-684-2100 Fax - 805-684-3430 2. Logitech. They make a lot of stuff, but the thing I am after is their position tracker as used in the 2D/6D mouse. The person to contact is BOB HAYA. I don't know much about it now, I'll send more info as I get it. Logitech, Inc. 6505 Kaiser Drive, Fremont, CA 94555 (415) 795-8500 (415) 792-8901 FAX I just thought this info might be useful to the VR community out ther, especially those of us who can't get our hands on any of the high-end gloves, so must modify things like PowerGloves to get anywhere near reasonable signals coming out of it. I hope you guys find it useful !
