I had planned on writing my own "gestures" type interface for AutoCAD - such that you could define your own gestures that would launch commands. However, the pitch, yaw, and roll were never accurate enough. Mine did a good job of determining position (well, at least most of the time), but the orientation was terrible. So any gestures that included anything other than position and finger bends (AKA every gesture i wanted to define) was very difficult to register correctly. I even wrote in functions to try to smooth those things out so that sudden massive leaps in roll, pitch, and yaw would be filtered out - but still it wasn't smooth enough. I think the P5 is an interesting product, but it just wasn't as effective as i'd like it to be. In my opinion, the roll and pitch should be ascertained via some sort of other mechanism - perhaps something like a mercury switch - rather than trying to determine the complete orientation via the IR. Mine just got confused way too easily. Perhaps they've released newer versions of the glove that are better - if so i'd love to write an interface for it.... -Rich "Andy F" <NOSPAM> wrote in message news:29486024.1095535147859.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... &gt; Has anyone integrated the P5 glove in Acad?

Looks like they're getting somewhere with it. <BR /> <BR /> Regards,<BR /> Andy F.
