Haptic Glove Update

Listing of accomplishments made by all group members for the previous week

  1. Got the LED to work with the Unity system
  2. Created prototypes of the wire housing and connection types.
  3. Considered different options to trigger haptic feedback, such as weaving the wire, or linking it.

A description of problems encountered and outstanding issues

  1. Conflicting results with SMA, possibly due to way the wire was spinned together, to many wires absorbing load, or power supply.
  2. Troubleshooting problems with activating the gravity mechanic in Unity, getting to know unity’s physical game engine,

A plan for the next week of work

  1. Sink or swim
  2. Abort memory wire if conflicting results persist, pursuing alternative haptic responses
  3. Finish with the Unity integration, and look towards integrating leap motion.
  4. Develop the housing and other concepts into integration of the glove.
