FOR SALE: Fifth Dimension Technologies 5th GLOVE 

	This is the original version of the 5DT Dataglove. It offers a
cost-effective alternative for those on a restricted budget. I am
offering this glove at a discount from the original cost of $495.
Instead, save $100!  Looking to sell my glove for $395. The glove is
in perfect condition, hardly ever used. I am selling this so that I
may move up to the newest version of the glove. The glove feels great
and obviously has a MUCH greater quality and accuracy than the Matel
PowerGlove!!!

The Spec's of the glove are as follows:

***************************************

 	The glove comes with an ISA card interface that goes into an
available PC slot.


Features: 

Single fibre optic based sensor for each finger. 

8-bit resolution (i.e. 256 positions) for each digit. The flexion of
the sensor is sampled with a 12 bit A/D convertor. Low crosstalk
between fingers.

Auto calibration routine. 

PC Interface Card buffer enables the Computer to retrieve information
at bus speeds. Information is updated at 125Hz, devided equally
amongst the sensors. A single glove therefore has a maximum update
rate of 25Hz.

Software: A Windows DLL and sample DOS programs are provided, together
with a glove to MIDI converter (works with Soundblaster as well) and a
gesture recognition program.


*****************************************************************
	
	Looking to sell the glove as soon as possible. Please contact
me at my e-mail address. Again, the cost is only $395 + the cost for
the method of shipping which you choose.


Thank you,
Kurt Wendt
