For my final project, I am planning to create a sort of interactive game with the use of Arduino and p5js. The idea is to create a 3D controller, which would allow the user to play a game.
I got inspiration from watching this video → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikD_3Vemkf0&feature=emb_title. In the video, the guy uses cardboard and foil, which can track the position of his hand. As he moves his hand, he can see the direction of the hand movement on the screen. So, I thought that I could connect Arduino to the cardboard with foil and make an interactive box, which sort of looks like this:
Turning to the screen, I thought to create a hidden object game. So there will be a picture presented on the screen with many objects and a gamer would need to find a red ball (for example) while moving their hand inside a cardboard box with a foil.
This idea also reminds me of a claw machine, so in any case, I have been thinking that I might use a joystick to find an object among many on the screen.
I know that the idea still seems “half-baked”, so I am looking forward to discussing how to improve it and implement it with the use of appropriate components.
