KeyGlove

The KeyGlove is a glove with many press-studs on the fingers, thumb and palm, which when touched together generate a keypress in the same manner as a keyboard. It is intended to be used as an input device for a wearable computer. The original idea came from http://www.eyetap.org/wearable/keyglove.html but in this version the press-studs have been moved to more comfortable positions, and the keys have been mapped in a different fashion through software.

  If you're looking for a change of web browser, try Mozilla Firefox. It's fun, it's fast, it's free! You can't lose! Handy features include: popup blocking, tabbed browsing, nifty search tools and superior privacy. Plus it'll import existing Bookmarks and Favorites from other browsers. Perhaps most importantly though, it's not inextricably tied to your Operating System, so it's far more secure than Internet Explorer.
