Fun meter

Abstract

A fun meter is provided with a meter body and a remote hand controller. The meter body has a visible sweep face, a back wall, and a sidewall. The back wall includes a fastener for attaching the back wall to an article of clothing. The sweep face includes a visible indicator region and a visible indicator for indicating a relative position of the indicator along the sweep face. The remote hand controller is electrically connected to the meter body for operation of the visible indicator with a pressure sensitive switch. A direct current circuit includes an adjustable resistance and a voltage source electrically connected to the switch and the visible indicator so that the visible indicator registers a relative position on the indicator region of the sweep face in proportion to operation of the switch by hand.
