What you ’re looking at here is an actual Wii - like 3 - D controller interface that can track object like your handwriting in real time . It may look a trivial shoddy , but what ’s amazing is that this very functional 3 - D interface was built by a hobbyist with portion most DIYers can find in their couch cushion — six resistors , aluminum foil , wire , a composition board boxwood , and an Arduino microprocessor to crunch the telephone number . That ’s it . It could n’t be more simple . But how ’d he pull up it off ?
The rig habituate simpleRC circuitsto smell the distance of an object in coitus to a set of capacitive plates ( here , the aluminum foil with current running through it ) . The circuits flow their data point to the Arduino , which work on them with constructor kylemcdonald ’s customProcessingcode ( an undecided - origin graphic programming language ) , and spew out raw 3 - 500 coordinate that update 10 times per indorsement for each detector . Just a hint of the awesome thing carry out tinkerers can pluck off with hackable microprocessors like the Arduino . [ InstructablesviaHack - a - daylight ]
