−The DataGlove originally started as an input system for computers. It was later used for virtual reality systems. [[Thomas G. Zimmerman|Thomas Zimmerman]] invented the prototype of the DataGlove and began looking for other people to help work on it. The device used 6502 microcontrollers. Zimmerman met [[Mitch Altman]] and asked him to join VPL part-time because Altman knew how to program the microcontrollers.<ref>{{cite video |people=Altman, Mitch |publisher=Terndrup, Matthew |title=An Interview with Mitch Altman (Inventor and Virtual Reality Pioneer from the 80's) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TrRO_j_efg#t=2148}}</ref>

−The system was wired to a computer. It was interactive and contained fiber-optic bundles to track movements and orientation. That data would then be transmitted to the computer so that the information could be duplicated virtually. It allowed for people to manipulate and re-orient virtual objects. Applications for this wearable device centered on input computer control, gaming, and also the potential for remote surgery.
