Given a qualified team and a decent amount of money, the glove could be made
practical using more or less existing COTS technology.

I am still not for throwing out the whole glove concept, but the practical
part is related to the person who would use the glove.  I still insist,
like the talking money reader, the consumer would not buy it when a pen and
paper is still cheaper and easy to carry around.  This example continues to
demonstrate the need to consult with people with disabilities first.  Just
because we can do it, does not mean we should do it.  Another example,
would be the camera technology for use by people who are blind.  This
camera project has been around for years and significant improvements have
been made.  But, I still would not go and get one for myself because the
minimal gain is not worth the effort.  If the best one can do is walk
around easier with the camera, the sight provided is not enough because I
get around just fine with my cane.
