A project where the user can drive a real Ferrari Italia 458 car (toy car) using hand gestures. I would like to have a single maker booth for both projects. Users can wear a Google Cardboard virtual reality (VR) headset and view the car’s camera up close thru the VR headset. And camera direction (pan/tilt) can be controlled by user’s head movements. Also, there will be a toy gun (made of LEGO technic blocks) mounted on the car and users can shoot the targets by performing a gun shoot gesture in front of the gesture camera. Also, the targets will be highlighted using augmented reality while viewing the camera from VR headset.
Spoon Carving
I carve spoons and other wooden kitchen tools from green wood. Carving spoons is part of the Sloyd tradition in Scandinavian countries. This my attempt to make something useful and beautiful totally by hand from easily sourced materials. The wood I use would otherwise go to the land fill or be used for fire wood. So why not make something nice!
