The P5 Glove was a wired glove USB peripheral device, released in 2002, using Infrared tracking technology. In normal applications, it worked as a 2 dimensional mouse and a few computer games were specially adapted to provide "3D" support for it. The P5 glove is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and Mac OS version 9 or below. Unofficial drivers for Linux exist as well.
While it received some positive reviews from gadget and gaming magazines, its lack of compatible software and other issues caused it to remain a novelty. It has since been discontinued.
[edit] Compatible Games
- Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
- Tiger Hunt
- Beach Head 2002
- Air Lock
- Black & White

- NOTE: the P5 has native compatibility with Microsoft Windows as a general input device and therefore can potentially be used with any game or application.
