Sketch 3

Sketch 3, aka the PATSTATION, is an apron with copper moustaches and LED's sewn into it with conductive thread and interfaced with an arduino mega. By continuously patting the left or right moustache the player can move left or right in the game, and by patting both at once the player can jump (or in the case of tetris, rotate).

It was a really fun project to make and we learned that getting a player to feel engaged in the action of a game using wearables is a difficult task and an art in and of itself. Great care and thought must be taken when designing an interactive game interface,
