\'Dark Art Glove\'

Student's 'Dark Art Glove' lights up his creativity

'Delano Ellis, a senior from Mandeville, Jamaica, models his "light glove," which is made from a gardening glove, Duracell batteries and Christmas tree lights. Ellis, who is an art major, wanted to create something that would let people work in the dark.'

Well, Ellis, something's already been around for a long time and has been used successfully to take care of that problem... ever heard of a HEADLAMP? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif

Headlamps have the added benefit of not blinding you when you're looking over your hands to see what you're doing! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif

I agree with the headlamp comment; however, he does have a point in that often your hand can be in one spot and your head can't be pointed that way, but your eyes can. I think that was the intent of the young girl who invented the screwdriver or nutdriver that had a built-in light.

Generally, though, the headlamp wins, I think, since the glare of the bulbs would not overwhelm your eyes and reduce your ability to see outside of the range of the glove.

Geez, anything can be "art" now. I remember a saying of Red Green (a canadian comedian): "If I can do it, it is not art".

I also remember in "Red Planet" a similar glove being part of the spacesuits worn by the actors in that movie. Only they had leds in them and looked a lot cooler! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
