This week I got the haptic feedback to work. Now, I am able to send a signal via bluetooth from a Python script to the Arduino at the start and end of calibration, as well as when a signed word/letter has been spoken out. The Arduino is able to case on the type of signal it receives and produces an apt haptic feedback pulse. My next steps would be to measure latency, experiment with which type of signal is most user-friendly, and see how far away the sender and receiver have to be in order for this mechanism to work in a timely manner.
My progress is on schedule.
This week I am giving the final presentation, so my main goal is focusing on that. In addition, we have our poster and final paper deliverable deadlines quickly approaching, so I plan to dedicate a significant amount of time to that. I also want to help with the overall look of what we will showcase on demo day, as one of our focus points from really early on was try to make sure our gloves are as user-friendly and not clunky as possible, which is why we’re designing a case to hold the battery and PCB, as well as experimenting with different gloves.
