Alex Dow, a student at the University of Colorado Built a hands-free etch-a-sketch for a class project. This technological breakthrough has got everyone in the industry buzzing! Before this revolutionary invention using an etch-a-sketch was a very difficult task. Now people like me who always had trouble using those little knobs will be able to use the Etch-a-Sketch more effectively. The model uses a pair of accelerometers attached to two human wrists to work two separate stepper motors. The motors spin two rubber bands that have been independently looped over each of the Etch-a-Sketch control knobs.

That sounds fun! I used to love Etch-a-Sketch back in the day!Ahh I wish I had one right now..oh well. That would be fun to try though I loved to play with my Etch-a-Sketch...I sucked at it. Maybe with this I would have a fighting chance.
