The End (For Now)

Five Months in the making, all the research, the soldering iron burns, the voiding of warranties all comes down to this.

For the summer show I have a working Prototype, a right hand "mouse-like" control with a left click, this part of the project tracks 3 red LEDs attached to the right glove via an overhead mounted webcam.

The second part is a stream lined, left hand "keyboard-like" control, the keyboard control has 12 possible inputs, within this post I will give a layout of the keys they represent.

I'm showing the control system with Invaders: Corruption, a freeware game from; Manuel van Dyck, Carlo Castellano and John Nesky, links to download the game can be found here:

The reason to choose this game was a simple one, I needed a game that used some mouse and keyboard control but, as the system has a steep learning curve it needed to be something that players would pick up quickly.

After the show is up I will have a few weeks before I have to enter the real word, hopefully in that time I will finish the design tutorials that will allow me to release this project as an Instructble on www.instructables.com
