Arduino-powered glove brings real sound effects in your make believe gun show (video)

The times of air-punching invisible Daleks and making your individual sound effects are over: a team from Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction course have built a glove that does all of it for you. The Augmented Hyper-Reality Glove can identify upper-cuts and karate chops using flex and tilt sensors and play the accompanying sound effect using an Arduino -powered Adafruit wave shield. We will see some potential downsides — flirtatious finger-gun fusillades accompanied by the sound of cannon fire might just ruin your date. If you are undaunted by such social faux pas, see the toy your inner-child always wanted in action after the break.
