My Idea is to make hardware gadgets for playing video games, I am a game developer so I am very interested to integrate what I learn in the diploma in my career, I get inspired from the VR Controller really amazing so I want to create my own custom gadgets for custom games like YuGiOh Duel desk, Ironman hand repulse and harry potter wand.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
The idea is to make a Laser Cutter wood ARM parts something like Thanos Gauntlet and spray it with my fav colors to control a PC game first person shooter to kill some zombies.
Second I will attach Arduino with 5 LEDs as the stones light and made the stones themselves from resin.
Third I will add MPU6050 accelerometer & gyroscope module to the gauntlet to act as a in-game first person camera controller to aim at zombies.
Then I will add an IR sensor to act like a trigger for shoot functionality in the game.
The communication between the arm and the game will use HC-05 Bluetooth module.
Make the First Person Shooter zombie killing game using Unity framework.
Map the data from accelerometer & gyroscope to the game player main camera and control the aiming with the received quaternion data, also use the IR sensor to control the shooting.
I will use LCD and place it on the arm to show the number of zombies killed.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
