From the Adafruit forums – user iraytrace presents the Glove HandBlaster.
The Story
We have all used our thumb and index finger to pretend to shoot something. Numerous people have made their own sci-fi “gun” for cosplay. However, I wanted to take this to the next level. I wanted to create a “gun-less” blaster. When I point my finger and flex my thumb I want lights and sound. In addition, I want to be able to get lights and sound when I raise my hand to use my psychic powers.I settled on a Circuit Playground express as the platform of choice. The size nestles in the palm of my hand very neatly. The buttons make for easy controls that I can press simply by curling my fingers into my palm.
In the simplest form, this can all be accomplished with these:
Terramar Thermasilk Glove Liner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J … UTF8&psc=1
