Severed Hand Bop-It

“Twist” the exposed wrist bone…

“Pull” the partially detached thumb…

A morbid arduino powered plush toy modelled after the popular children’s toy, “Severed Hand Bop-It” (aka Simon Severed)offers players a tactile take on the classic ‘simon’-style game. Featuring five hand built soft switches made from conductive textiles and complete with sound and LED feedback for rich interactive gameplay, Severed Hand Bop-It provides hours of grisly fun. Made in collaboration with Jason Schapiro this project was presented at World Maker Faire NYC, October 2012 and included on the Make Blog in their promotional coverage of the event.
