Check out This Awesome Handmade Angry Birds Controller

Pretty amazing stuff right here though we’re not sure how practical it is. I’m sure Angry Birds fans will love it though. A few people hacked a motorized fader found in audio mixing consoles to create the force feedback. Basically, the way they achieved this is by drawing a force curve and storing the values in a table, then they send the current position of the slider through the table and extract the value to send to the motor that applies an opposing force. You can check this in action in the “How it Works” part of the video which is after the jump.

This project was made by Hideaki Matsui and Andrew Spitz in a class on Haptics at CIID run by Bill Verplank and David Gauthier.

A big thanks to Soundplusdesign for this
