Many classic video game fans have fond memories of Nintendo's heavily marketed, but ultimately failed accessory, the Power Glove. Dillon Markey, and animator who works on Robot Chicken, has found a new use for the relic of the 1980s.

As seen in the short documentary Playing with Power (via Digital Trends), Markey modified an old power glove to become a Bluetooth controller for the animation software he uses while filming, streamlining the process and removing the need for him to walk back and forth between camera, computer, and set.

It's some pretty clever stuff. Check it out the documentary below.
