Arduino meets Tetris

First let me say to you that this is very similar to Dance Dance Revolution and Tetris mixed together. Then let me say to you that it’s run on a little thang called the Arduino open-source electronics prototyping platform. In this project is a new way to play tetris – interacting with your feet and your body rather than just with your fingertips. Made by interface designers Luyza Pereira and Bettina Hiel for a school project. Bet ya’d have trouble, ya pro!

Pick up the box, turn it, twist it, bop it. Stomp (NOT TOO HARD) on the pads at your feet to move back and forth. And what’ve you got? A whole new game, for cripes sake!

I’d love for this to make it to the video game emporium at the mall somehow, I’d play it all day and forever and ever and ever! Tetris is a way of life!
