Fiber Optic Light Glove brings spotlight or floodlight right where you need it

fiber_optics_light_glove.jpg

Never mind strapping a flashlight to your head like an old miner, or around your ear like a Borg — this fiber optic light glove brings the light literally to your fingertips. Powered by a battery pack embedded in its wristband, the light source is also in the wrist band, directed by fiber optic pipes to either shine a shadow-free spotlight directly on your work, light up the entire glove in a diffuse floodlight, or both.

Besides being super-handy while working in tight/dark spaces, this could be a boon for night-side traffic cops or ravers of all stripes. We especially like the strategically-located controls, right there on your thumb within easy reach of your index finger. The tech used by this clever design concept might not be quite ready to be cost-effective just yet, but when it is, we’ll wear one of these on each hand.

For those seeking the new human interface device called Lightglove, please go to www.lightglove.com. We've had a trademark for this name over 7 years so those using a glove with lights on it may want to call it Glove Light and put a link to Lightglove on their home page. Just a suggestion.
