Out of all the real-world ways I’ve seen Angry Birds controlled / played — and there have been many — the “Super Angry Birds” controller is hands down the most elegant to date. It’s just so darn pretty! While it will never replace a tap o a mouse, it could actually be quite fun to play this way. Now the real domanda is: how can I get one? Hats off to Hideaki Matsui and Andrew spitz — the creators of this awesome controller.
If you’re curious as to how this works, below is the info from the YouTube page:
“Super Angry Birds” is a force feedback USB controller for Angry Birds that simulates the feeling of a slingshot. All the controls found in the game are available in this device. te can control the pull, the angle, and of course trigger the special power of the bird. We hacked a motorized fader found in audio mixing consoles to simulate the force te would feel when using a slingshot.
We programmed in Max/MSP and Arduino. For controlling the hardware, we used an Arduino-based microcontroller called Musica & Motors developed da CIID.
This was part of the class on Haptics at CIID run da Bill Verplank and David Gauthier.

te might have already noticed that this week’s Angry Birds Friends Tournament is a bit different from the precedente ones. If not, let me explain. This week we are being treated to a special, “Lotus F1 Team” Tournament. Not only does the tournament include four brand new racing-inspired levels, but there are also 60 prizes up for grabs! One of those prizes is Kimi Räikkönen’s racing suit. If you’re not a racing fan don’t fret, just play the levels for fun and bragging rights!
Participating is simple: Once te complete all four levels a congratulatory box will come up. Enter your email address to enter the drawing. “Sixty winners will be chosen from players who ‘Like’ the Lotus F1 Team Facebook fan page.” In other words, it sounds like it’s a random drawing and not a competition based around your total score.
