Fiber Optic LED Glove Puts Light At Your Fingertips

It’s a shame what happened to glowsticks. What was once a useful hand-held lighting device has since been ruined by generations of raver douchebags who twirl them like batons. Luckily, it looks like flashlight technology might be taking another step forward with this Fiber Optic Glove concept.

Created by Slovenian designer Tilen Sepic for DesignBoom’s Bright LED competition, the power of the gloves starts at the wrist, where a battery pack and LED light source are hidden. Vein-like fiber optic wires then bring the light up the hand to the index finger and thumb. With the touch of a button, your palm will glow a bright white light, or emit a beam from the finger tip. Tron Guy would be proud. See more images of the concept below…

Kanye’s New Video Goes Back To The Future

Finally, six months after the release of Graduation, Kanye West is starting to release the exclusive videos that he screened at the album’s listening session.

Just wait ’til he pulls out his Ace—the NSFW hentai porn set to “Drunk And Hot Girls”. In the meantime, brace yourself for a visual rollercoaster for “I Wonder,” set to clips from the 1982 sci-fi classic Tron, after the jump.
