The Claw is an arcade machine with futuristic controls. We replaced the traditional joystick and push button with a 3D sensor (Asus Xtion Pro) which translates your personal movement in space to 3D coordinates a software program can understand. The C++ application interprets these coordinates and sends messages via an Arduino micro-controller to move the claw in various directions and to trigger the downward grab.
