The greatest hardware competition on the planet is going on right now. The Hackaday Prize is the Oscars of Open Hardware. It's the Nobel Prize of building a thing. It's the Fields Medal of firmware development, and simply making it to the finals grants you a knighthood in the upper echelon of hardware developers.

Last week, we wrapped up the fourth challenge in The Hackaday Prize, the Human Computer Interface challenge. Now we're happy to announce twenty of those projects have been selected to move onto the final round and have been awarded a $1000 cash prize. Congratulations to the winners of the Human Computer Interface Challenge in this year's Hackaday Prize.

    I thought the electronic barrette hub was interesting. It could be combined with the SHE BON to give those cat ears people wear at anime conventions that are supposed to respond to their mood a better response.

    Haha, but this is probably quite niche, falling in the useless garbage category. Most people on this board probably have no use for a barrette of any kind, and those who do probably have no use for a barrette that doubles as a USB power source, and there are probably none who are weeaboo enough to wear cat ears at anime conventions.

    The TouchYou [hackaday.io] is interesting since it sounds like it's not purely based on vibration. I'm looking forward to a haptic suit like the one in Ready Player One.

    If one is expecting something amazing that works on a completely new principle, one will be disappointed by these devices. Incremental progress is incremental.
