God Save The Houses

This a project for a workshop about connected objects and handicap. In this game, you play as god, and you must extinguish the burning houses with your sponge, seen by human as a cloud

My job was to do the Alternative controller and connect it to the unity project.

The arduino program is getting 3 inputs from different sensors, and forwarding it to the unity project, who then interpret them.

• The pressure sensor : linked to a balloon placed in a sponge, to detect the hand grip pressure from the user
• The ultrasonic distance sensor : to detect the position of the hand holding the sponge, to determine above which house is the hand
• A button : put upside down and attach to a plate, to detect when the hand of the user is resting on it, to mimic a lake and refill the sponge.
