I was watching my family play Guitar Hero last night and they wanted me to join in. NO FRIGGEN WAY!
I have no hand/Eye quordination what so ever.
But I do have mad skills at building electronics and mechanical devices. So while watching them duke it out over a game I thought about how I could build a "Skill Inhancement Device" for the gaming system.
I figured why cant I just take several photo sensors and use them to read the display on the screen then use the signal from them to drive electric solonoid actuators to do the button pushing for me!
Perhaps some level of microprocessor controls would be needed for the interface to be reliable too.
What do you think? Could it be done? I know its a totaly pointless waste of my time, money and effort, but so is gaming!
Got any practical or not so practical ways you think it could be done?
