Supercharge your high fives with this DIY exploding high five glove project from Eli Skipp. Using a force sensor and an Arduino, the glove can add an explosive sound to authentic high fives (as opposed to simply placing your hand down on a table).
It’s a little bulky at the moment, but with some refinement it could be a proper bit of wearable absurdity. Hopefully a fist bump sequel is also in the works. Check out the video after the break to see the glove in action.
Although you’ll enjoy the double whammy “hello” that you can give with the combination of a conventional wave and the added “Hi” printed on one of the mittens, the waning popularity of the high five coupled with the fact that mittens have a cool factor of zero means that the only high five action they will see will be with each other.

Apes and sharks high fiving? Unless I stumble into the woods one day and find a squirrel and a giraffe fist-bumping, I think I have seen it all.
