HID Patch for Essential Reality P5 Glove

HID Patch for Essential Reality P5 Glove

[Jason McMullan]

  This patch adds the Essential Reality P5 data glove to the HID
blacklist. It's yet another device that advertises itself as a HID,
and doesn't comply with the HID specs.

  The P5 is an inexpensive ($99 USD) data glove, with 5 finger flexion
sensors and 8 IR location sensors.

  A user-space library to access the P5 is available at
  http://www.evillabs.net/~jmcc/p5/

Any thoughts?

Oh, and can you also send a 2.5 version of this?
