This project was made for a subject in college called Atelier de Artes Globais.
It's an interactive controller for the video game "Surgeon Simulator" by Bossa Studios.
We thought that making a glove to control this hard enough game to play would actually make it harder and thus more fun. This game is not supposed to be an actual surgery simulator, but a comedy approach to a simulator game. When you put on this glove you will try to mirror the movements of your hand to the hand in the game, but that will not happen. Instead, you will have to perform a bunch of complicated introcate movements to control the surgeon, but it's really fun!
This project has several moving parts - the building of the glove , the configuration of the eletromagnetic sensors, programming in Processing, arduino and using the MakeyMakey board.
