As a school project we created this game. It´s built with an accelerometer to measure the tilt of your hand to control your character and whenever you are hit by a dislike, we have a motor that vibrates as physical feedback. Hope you like it as much as we loved building it.
This is the setup of the gaming glove you use in the game.
Cool! When we started with the project, before we came up with the concept of using a like hand, we thought about doing it with a rather similiar control as you did, but with a ultrasonic distance sensor instead:)
Yepp, the servo is for vibration. I know there are better motors to use for vibration, but for the this school project we were given a servo motor to use. It actually worked better for vibration than I expected.
Actually I am not sure if the input reads are being "smoothed" when the video was filmed(doesn't really look very smooth in the video when I look at it now). We had a tight time frame, so either the filming took place before I added smoothing or the accelerometer isn't correctly placed in the glove at the time of the filming.
I have a lot of old "crap" like old cellphones somewhere, I just might take a look and see what I can find.
