"Talk to the hand"

But yes, I think I've heard of this being developed and I much approve. Hand location was the most difficult part if I recall, but it looks like they pulled it off to a fair degree already.
There was also similar research into a dog harness that translated its body position into a word or two, but that was less effective, shall we say.
