Infinity Mitten is a solitary digital world destruction simulator. When a digital planet is located on the screen, the mitten wearer reads the name of the planet out loud followed with a reason to destroy it. Unlike Thanos and his Infinity Gauntlet, we wipe one planet at a time. (and we tell them why!)
After watching Avengers: End Game, I had been looking for an Infinity Gauntlet mitten. Without knowing the Infinity Mitten was actually a thing in the comic, a mitten is the closest thing to an infinity gauntlet I have in real life. When I put it on, I am the most powerful person in the kitchen universe.
Last week at our first New Arcade class, I drew a diagram on the board to show how our first basic pipeline worked. For the physical interface, I spontaneously drew an Infinity Gauntlet with buttons (jewels), LEDs, and haptics. In one of the slides that Henry, my co-teacher, was showing there was a picture of a toaster. For demo sake, I decided to make the infinity mitten idea a reality, and the kitchen universe where a toaster can be found becomes the inspiration.

I built a planet name generator based on this website, very good names.
