    I have my new chip for detecting capacitive touch and it is working on new jog wheel swatch! I’m trying to make this very modular so I can swap out widgets/swatches and micros too. There’s a mixture of metal and conductive thread. The I2C stuff does best over metal and everything else can be thread.Also,…

    I bought the extra hardware for single port capacitive touch.As a hub to my swatch book, I need a BLE device / game controller.( Unplugging the stethoscope… for now. ) Right away I’m having trouble connecting to the RedBoard. I’m going to factory reset it and see if that helps. Here’s the command I used:python…

    Reading some basics on capacitive touch.Introduction to Capacitive Touch Sensing – Technical Articles Thus, the only way to effectively deal with low-frequency noise is to be adaptable: The threshold used to identify the presence of a finger can’t be a fixed value. Instead, it should be regularly adjusted based on measured values that do not…

    What about active embroidery? Or an active fabric display?Never been done. Start with embroidery and make a thumb point and how the thumb point feels might signal whether its a button or menu or keyboard or slider.

    Consider adding the resolution of bend for the various gloves. Seems like a table might have been possible in this paper. The advantage of this model of interaction is naturalness — users’ actions correlate closely with those that might be performed on physical objects. many researchers and companies developing systems for virtual environments favor 3D…

    I’m interested in learning more about how people perceive weight and motion through haptics. Can you feel the weight of virtual anatomy? wearable devices to simulate the weight of virtual objects using skin stretch. 29, 41 the deformation on fingerpads makes a reliable weight sensation even when the proprioceptive sensation is absent Is this so…

    I’ve been thinking about gender schema since last summer, starting with the Lara Croft paper and other influences. Another thing is how our bodies and our clothing enables us to live as who we are, in the roles we prefer. I think about those whose bodies do not enable the roles they prefer. What a…
