Hallowing Spirit Board

Participants place their hands on a planchette — think of it like a supernatural mouse cursor — which mysteriously moves to spell out messages.

In this project, Hallowing acts as the planchette, moving around an invisible spirit board that can be seen only through the Hallowing’s display. The onboard accelerometer reacts to subtle tilting to scroll around the board, or touch one of the capacitive pads to have the oracle spell out a message on its own. The powerful SAMD21 processor gives us buttery smooth animation!
