We need OpenPIE, GlovePIE's open source alternative, unfortunatly last i heard the project was dead before even starting


The "PIE" part stands for "Programable Input Emulator", it is a script language focused on reading all sorts of input devices and as emulating a bunch of them as well; on my Windows machine i use it for lots of things, like controlling custom parameters of my sound card like mic return, volume, bass enhancer and omni vs bidirectional mic recording (i use KX drivers, i can knda program the DSP of the soundcard and use MIDI signals to change parameters), translating joypad (like my Dualshock3 SIXAXIS inputs into all sorts of keypresses, mouse movements, emulated joystick axis etc, trigger the screensaver after some inactivity time even if the mouse got a bit of spontaneous jitter, and a bunch of other stuff, GlovePIE reach is quite broad (VR gloves, head trackers, MIDI, OSC, WIi controllers, PS* controllers, XBOX controllers, multiple mice and keyboards and much more), and the language is very flexible to syntax variations, seems to accept syntax styles from a bunch of popula languages, i found it quite easy to learn.
