I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. (lemmy.world)

We're beyond that today...

The power glove was essentially a Wiimote. It has a 3 point sensor bar you had to hang on the TV, and used audio signals to get the location. Technology improved & we ended up with the Wiimote and the Kinect, then decided that the motion controls were dumb unless VR was involved and that's where all the innovation went.
