Mediocregopher ☛ Record Player Table
When we moved here two years ago we brought all of our records with us, but left behind the record player itself.

Arduino ☛ DexteriSync lets you walk a mile in the gloves of a user with manual disability
DexteriSync is an exoskeleton-like device worn on the hand. But unlike most exoskeletons, DexteriSync reduces the user’s ability instead of expanding it. It does so via thermal manipulation. If you’ve ever had numb hands following a snowball fight, you know how much the cold can affect your dexterity. In fact, skin temperature is one of the biggest factors related to hand and finger dexterity. By controlling the user’s skin temperature, DexteriSync is able to induce a reduction in dexterity and that could be useful to designers that want to make their products accessible to those living with disabilities.
