User:Theamazingj/GlovePIE

= GlovePIE = GlovePIE is a Windows Application Developed by Carl Kenner that emulates computer inputs such as keyboards and mice, from devices that may not be supported in the application in which the user wishes. The application is particularly useful in gaming, allowing a vastly expanded gameplay experience that can combine many different inputs such as wiimotes, virtual reality gloves, and microphones.

Development
GlovePIE is currently in version 0.29. Version 0.30 was released and can be found at many download websites on the internet, but contains bugs in how the application handles wii remote IR inputs.

Ban in Israel
Carl Kenner built a function into GlovePIE that would cause the application to crash in the country Israel. He says this stipulation will only be removed when Israel ends its occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria. Many have protested this.

Potential For Cheating
Because of GlovePIE's extendable programming interface, in games that require rapid button presses or many presses in succession, it could be used to automate many tasks, giving the gamer an advantage. Users who use GlovePIE and applications like it have often been banned from game servers.
