Amputee Mouse

• 

  The mouse on a person in use

• 

  The mouse arm band

• 

  The overall setup

• 

  The Edison-Arduino combo

Inspiration:

One of our team members has a cousin who is missing part of her arm. This was to work as a concept specifically for people with similar limb loss but for one fifth the price of other products on the market.

What it does:

The Amputee Mouse acts exactly like a mouse would for a normal computer but does not require a hand to operate.

How we built it:

A lot of trial and error

Challenges we ran into:

Using C++ to control the software side of the project

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

Finishing the project within the allotted time

What we learned:

A lot about python and Arduinos

What's next for Amputee Mouse:

We would like to continue working on this project with the IEEE club at ISU to create a full prototype and test it in the field.
