For April 1st, Samsung and HTC have both unveiled teched-out gloves that poke fun at the current wearables trend everyone is pursuing, but no one has quite yet figured out. As it turns out, another manufacturer has had the same idea. Meet DiGiT, the high-tech glove from Toshiba.

There's one primary thing that separates Toshiba's effort from the others - this company did it right. Not only has it produced the requisite full-of-itself product trailer, it produced a series of them breaking down DiGiT's key features. These gloves are capable of 4K Ultra HD recording, serving as earbuds, translating text in foreign languages, and more.

For DiGiT to perform these tasks, the glove has to come with quite a bit of hardware packed in. After buying a pair from Toshiba's website, look for a microphone, camera, LED lamp, projector, USB port, and accelerometers tucked away inside and out.

Toshiba gets April Fools' Day. The company has gone all out for the last couple of years, producing really quality videos. The only problem is, at least in the mobile space, I want these gloves more than anything the company's actually producing.

A full press release is available below.
