Oh, that Arduino. Is there anything you can’t accomplish with an Arduino and a little bit of know-how? Whether your project is of a serious nature, or dedicated to playing Pong with your eyebrows–like this one is–the potential here seems limitless.

But let’s get back to that eyebrow thing.

The Ponghatduino project is designed to allow the user–er, wearer–to play Pong against themselves by using the hat, and its pressure against your forehead, as the control input. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Ridiculous and yet completely awesome. This is all about novelty, folks, not brain surgery.

And, if you’re of a DIY-mindset yourself, this looks pretty simple to assemble, though you’ll have to bring your own hat.
