In these photos you want to make sure you highlight what you're using and why.

Just an arrow pointing to accelerometer would be great.

Accelerometer

Step 1: 

Plug your Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable.

Step 2: 

Start the Arduino Software (IDE)

Step 3: 

Load the Blink code by going to < File < Examples < 01. Basics < Blink.

This will open up the Blink sketch.

pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);

digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);

This will initialize the LED that is built onto the board as the output.

This will supply 5V to the LED. To turn it off, you simply replace HIGH with LOW.

Video games are often played better with controllers that are customized for the game. Connection Controller is designed to be a base controller that can be modified to best work with a variety of different games. I explored, through form factor and electronic circuitry, several designs that connect a user more closely to the game that they are playing.

Here you can talk about immersion.

"When playing video games, immersion and engagement stems from every detail from the game and the hardware used to play it.

Project Description

The idea to the project was based around a rhythm game, "Friday Night Funkin", in which you had to press the set of arrow keys on your computer at the same time the arrows are shown on screen.

I wanted to make a custom controller for this and other games like it to include more movement and exercise while playing.

The Shot Enhancer is built to help perfect a basketball players shooting form. Using a camera The Shot Enhancer records your form while practicing. A machine learning model analyzes your form and displays progress on a custom display. The shot Enhancer allows anyone to be able to practice and perfect their own shot easily.

'Control-A-Sphere' is a alternative game controller made from a large sphere seat from which the user would shift their weight to influence the virtual world. We made Control-A-Sphere to help people stay active by requiring an active core and good balance but still giving people the enjoyment of their games

The Near and Far Pull-up Bar is a smart bar that fits on a door frame. It's designed to improve one's ability to do pull-ups, which it does by using ultra-sonic sensors to detect whether the user has done a pull up correctly. It also tracks and displays how many pull-ups have been completed.

The Rain Remover is a device that fits around your torso and allows you to protect yourself easily from the rain without removing the freedom of your hands. It has a torso piece that fits around your torso under your shoulders, and has a flap that goes up and over your head to protect you easily from the rain. This part is currently manual, but moving forward I will try to add a servo to make it easy to do without exerting much energy. This is made for people who have to walk somewhere with their hands full and can't really hold an umbrella at that moment, or those with a disability making it difficult to carry an umbrella around.
