Kelvin and Ji's Mousehack

Alien-Wear

When thinking about a mouse, the first thing that came up was control. We took this aspect of control with something trending in our society. In this case, Aliens. We created a two-person instrument that controls a snake in scratch. We constructed a mechanism where the mouse speed could be tracked easily, and reattached the mouse buttons onto a helmet. Batteries we added as weight on top of the mouse to ensure smoother movement.

During the critique, the mouse buttons did not work and presentation mode screwed up the tracking of the mouse. The buttons the helmet are suppose to control the sounds so cymbals.

here are images of the device and a video in at the end.
