About this episode
Chris Gentile discusses his journey from designing nuclear power stations to creating the Power Glove and other gaming innovations.
Chris Gentile started off designing nuclear power stations, then joined his brothers' company to design holograms for action figures. It was here he was tasked with turning the $9,000 Data Glove into a $50 consumer product called the Power Glove. This would put Chris on a career path where he would design a 3D game console for Hasbro, and even a VR ride for Disney World in Florida. We sat down and asked him a few questions.
