"This is a terrific opportunity for innovative individuals to think about new and exciting ways with which to use our technology," says Faisal Yazadi, CEO of CyberGlove Systems. As computer hardware and software technologies continue to advance, and as the cost benefits of virtual reality continue to be recognized, new markets are sure to evolve for motion capture and haptic force feedback products.
Current industry applications include: motion capture, industrial engineering, and academic research; however, there remain several niche applications unexplored within these broad categories as well as new applications in medical, telerobotics, and military applications not yet considered, says a representative.

"We expect several applicants from around the world, and will evaluate each idea on its own merit," says Paul Sanchez, director of marketing at CyberGlove Systems.
Ideal contestants will explain which CyberGlove product they intend to use, how potential customers will use the product, what industry and its market size, and why they believe this new application will be a success.
