Hacking my arm prosthesis to plug into a synth: thought-controlled music β This is absolutely one of the coolest hacks I have seen. This guy hacks his prosthetic arm to connect it to a synth and control it using signals from muscles. This also reminds me of an older project me and Mujtaba did: We developed a very cheap armband to detect MMG signals, which we then sent to a neural network and captured/recognized few gestures. The hardware consisted of pre-amplified microphones.
Gears β A really great blog post about mechanical gears. I really liked the interactivity and visualizations on this blog. Also check out other posts on their blog.
Check out OpenChakra, an open-source visual editor for React. Itβs a cool demo, however I donβt see myself using it as of now, itβs not there yet.
This casual indie game I recently came across on Twitter: Bad North. A brutal real-time strategy game. Defend your island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders. I am playing it on an iPad and have tried it on Switch. Itβs fun on both!
