For my final project, I want to create a Harry Potter-inspired Magic Wand Simulator. The project would use an infrared (IR) sensor attached to the tip of the wand to detect gestures and proximity, allowing users to perform actions like raising, flicking, or pointing the wand to trigger spells.
Each spell corresponds to specific animations and effects in p5 and provides feedback through physical outputs controlled by Arduino, such as lighting up LEDs or playing sounds. Ideally I would want the motion to be accurate like the films/books. So hopefully the movements will be detected accurately. For example, creating the motion for Lumos, causes the p5 screen to brighten. I plan to create the p5 screen to look like a Hogwarts common room, and be able to move objects, turn the light on/off, etc, based on the wand’s movement.
