Hand controlled everything. How do I start?

Hello, I am attempting to do a project involving a glove that will be able to turn things on in my room. I want to use the glove to turn on the speakers, lights, etc. I plan on turning them on with robotic arms. But I need help on how to start with my "Robotic Glove" I guess. I thought this will be a pretty cool project. Can any experienced arduino users guide me? Thank you.

the easiest start if I read this right is a nintendo power glove

each finger has a switch and connecting nintendo controllers is dead simple
