This week we did Ethics discussion about our project. While discussing about how technology projects have ethical side effects, we got to think about how our project can impact the way we expect to be, and the way we don’t expect to be. Ideally we want Myorun to be used by enthusiasts who would like to try out a fun game without touching controllers, or perhaps people who need to use arm muscles for rehabilitative purposes. But we also got…
This week for capstone I spent the majority of my time organizing the classification algorithm approach to our EMG data. A major decision factor going into this classification of the data depends on how the data is recorded. I found that if the data is recorded in a continuous stream of repeated actions, the best approach is to use wavelet transform on the data in order to identify a basis function and the scaled and shifted versions of it. This…
This week I bought a texture pack from Unity Asset Store to bring in better look and feel in to the game. The new asset contains more diverse objects to create obstacles and background. The old terrain and structure is replaced with the new texture pack. I also fixed the lighting and fog issue where distant objects are grayed out. Graying out distant object can be good as it makes the game more realistic, but previously the gray distance was…
This week the data collection process was bolstered and thanks to Tarana’s hard work in coordinating the hardware system of the EMG, we were able to collect data recorded from more than a single electrode. Last week’s milestone was collecting data from a single electrode and visualizing the signal from different recorded movements over time. This week, toward the end of the week we got data collected for all the movement collected from five electrodes on the forearm. This upcoming…
