Wallclock 4.0 – Portable Project Natal
So every week or so I go to my junk box and look through the parts I'm not using. I think to myself, "Hunter, do you need this or is it taking up space?". The answer is always "taking up space", hence my penchant for soldering (taping, hot gluing, welding) things together. This week, it was a slim ps2. Taking the wallclock (microscope edition) apart, I stripped it of a couple of printed circuits (don't reeeeaaaly need that last row of keys do we?). A disassembly of a ps2 eyetoy camera revealed a tightly integrated circuit board with a sharp L angle. For those of you who have never played eyetoy, it's essentially project Natal with a low resolution webcam. Fantastically fun at parties, not particularly lasting for single player.
