Have you ever wanted to have a Nerf battle with your friends but you were missing a hand? Well the collective at Hackerloop has solved that problem. In a report from TechCrunch, the group used a Nerf Swarmfire, along with some 3d printing, a microcontroller, and some electrodes to create a Nerf prosthetic for Nicoalas Huchet.
Things like this are fantastic. I love seeing engineers and tinkerers coming together to make cool stuff like this. 21st Century MacGyver stuff right here.
In the past, Hackerloop has worked on other creative hacks. The team built a replica of the house in “Up” using paper and foam and sent it above Paris to post photos on Instagram using a Raspberry Pi. They also worked on the Nosulus Rift, a VR fart simulator to promote Ubisoft’s South Park game (The Fractured But Whole). Every time you fart in the video game, the Nosulus Rift emits a flatulence smell.
