It's worth taking a look at the comparison of existing data gloves on the website - http://theglovesproject.com/data-gloves-overview/ http://theglovesproject.com/data-gloves-overview/ . These aren't the first to try and do this by any means but they are as far as I can see by far the most considered and refined for their purpose, think of it as the iPhone of data gloves.
The combination of flexibility, comfort, precision, being totally wireless & a an impressive sensor combination (individual finger flex in both directions + hand accelerometer & gyro) combined with in-glove haptic feedback mean there's truly incredible potential here for creating entirely new ways of interacting with software.
Like the iPhone, or the iPad, or the iPod it's not that the technology itself is revolutionary or unique but it's the way that the technology has been used to create an amazing product that makes this to me as if not more exciting than things like the Oculus Rift.
