Peregrine
Gaming glove in action at PAX, and there are videos of it too.
PALO ALTO, CA and LLOYDMINSTER, ALBERTA - Sept. 2, 2009
Today the first videos of The PEREGRINE gaming glove make their debut. The PEREGRINE is a wearable, multiplatform PC input device that gives gamers a powerful edge over the keyboard. For the full story, visit http://www.ThePEREGRINE.com.
Those gamers lucky enough to have the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo on their calendars will have an even better chance to check out The PEREGRINE, where the gaming glove will be on display at booth #1342.
The videos are presented by Pu “Whisper” Liu, the pro gamer from Team Evil Geniuses who lays claim to the #1 Warcraft III: Dawn of the Ancients (DotA) ranking in North America, as well multiple eSports World Cup USA DotA championships. An avid user of The PEREGRINE, Whisper shows in the videos how the glove allows users to instantly trigger over 30 in-game abilities literally with the touch of a finger, speeding up their response time while simultaneously offering a more comfortable and intuitive gaming experience.

“We unveiled The PEREGRINE to the world at E3 and the response was even better than we could have imagined,” said Brent Baier, inventor of the Peregrine. “We can’t wait to show it off to even more people with the first videos of the product in action, and our hands-on debut at PAX.”
“Everyone on The PEREGRINE team is on the edge of our seats waiting for the first gloves to roll off the assembly line, because we truly believe it will change the way people play games,” added Baier, CEO of Iron Will Innovations, the think tank founded to bring revolutionary products like The PEREGRINE to life. “What started more than five years ago as the dream of a starving engineering student is starting to truly take shape, and it’s exhilarating!”
