Anyway, Rick would be correct. The 121 glove was the first glove ever created to control robot components. After seeing that glove, my team actually tried to model a different glove in 1998 in which we used limit switches and potentiometers to create a replica of the Sony Playstation Glove Control. It worked well, but we just didn't use it.
