Wow, that is super interesting honestly. I'm sure that was cheap as dirt to make, and reactive enough to pull off the effect. But still awkward as anything I'd imagine. Almost reminds me of the Data Glove, the prototype idea for the power glove controller for the NES, using fingers and tilt sensors as button inputs to the console. The idea was prototyped in a few days by an engineer by attaching drinkings straws from your wrist to the end of your finger, shining a light on one end, and having a photo resistor to read it on the other end to see how far you've bent a finger. Super cheap low latency finger movement detection. It was later replaced with fiber optics for reliability sake.
