The Makey Makey Go is a wearable device that helps you turn the world into your very own playground. It does so by allowing you to turn everyday objects into touch-enabled buttons. Want to turn a donut into a spacebar button? There's nothing stopping you. Think a banana might make a good right-click mouse button? Have at it!
Once the device is hooked up, the connected computer recognizes objects as keyboard or mouse commands -- usually space bars or left mouse clicks, although users can remap things via a web interface.
The Makey Makey Go is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, with a pledge of $49.95 sufficient to get you an original unit if and when production commences. This is a fantastic product that uses technology to help you get creative, and is sure to inspire fascinating creations and ideas from people of all stripes.
