Egyptian Wings Game Controller

This project was made as a school project.

The goal was to create an alternative controller inspired by birds using 2 keyboards as our base.

We decided to go for an Egyptian aesthetic.

• Cardboard
• Hot glue gun
• Fake feathers
• polystyrene
• A pen and / or a marker
• Paints (gold, orange and blue)
• Threads
• A cardboard box
• 2 keyboard
• 4 thin wooden sticks ot pens
• 3D printed decoration (optionnal)
• Scissors and / or a cutter

Draw a wing shape into a large enough cardboards.

Then cut it using a pair of scissors or a cutter

First using a pen or a marker, draw the outlines for the wing pattern.

Then paint it.

If you happen to have access to a 3D printer, you can start printing decorations like egyptian obelisks and pharao's representations.

Using your glue gun, spread glue on the lower part of the wings and then plance and arrange the feathers.

Using small cardboard pieces, carve a pair of handles for each wings.

Then glue them to the wings with liguid glue.

Pierce tiny holes in your box to make sure the strings connected to the wings can go through.

Each wing will have a thread connected to their handles.

the shorter one near the elbow's handles.

the longer one on the wrist's handles.

This instalation will be the way our arms will be able to press inputs while we flaps our wings.

make sure the button prompt is functionnal.

Paint them in gold to make them stand out.
