In this project we built a sketchpad based on LED matrix display with microcontroller and resistive touch screen control. We used a single point resistive touch screen to detect the user’s gesture and microcontroller’s analog/digital converter (ADC) ports collects the data and convert it to coordinates. We designed a LED drive circuit with shift registers […]
Introduction What is seeing without feeling? The field of Virtual Reality has recently been gaining much attention, with the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard paving the path of visualizing a world that is not physically there. But what if the virtual reality experience could be enhanced by incorporating tactile sensing? The Haptic Glove we developed
INTRODUCTION In the modern American classic, Rocky IV, Ivan Drago (portrayed by Dolph Lundgren) is shown utilizing a then-futuristic electronic punch meter (in addition to anabolic steroids) in his quest to triumph over Rocky in one of the Cold War’s only face to face confrontations. While we dispensed with the communist symbolism (and controlled substances)
We’ve implemented an autonomous pursuit vehicle capable of chasing a designated target using ultrasonic transmissions. The system is demonstrated by chasing a second, human-controlled, RC car. The pursuit unit is equipped with a 24kHz transmitter and two 40kHz receivers, while the target unit has a 24kHz receiver and a 40kHz transmitter. The target unit responds
The idea of the the project is to create a useful device for being able to get directions with any specified path by use of waypoints rather than a path chosen by a GPS as well as being able to follow a path that is offroad. The basis of this project was to provide a
Introduction: What is Space Invasion: Space Invasion is a game in which a spaceship has to pass through the walls, without crashing. There are monsters trying to kill the spaceship. So the spaceship has to destroy them before getting destroyed. The game has no end, it is point based. The spaceship has two different types
Introduction There are very few ways to improve one’s skills in conducting a live band. Practicing by conducting a real band requires coordination of many people and conducting along to pre-recorded songs does not provide feedback on the accuracy of the conductor’s selected tempo. The system we designed uses a glove with an accelerometer to
Introduction “A device that pitch-shifts voice in real time” For our final project, we attempted to implemented a real-time vocal pitch shifter. The system was designed to work as follows: a user speaks into a microphone, their vocals are processed using a pitch shifting algorithm, and the resulting signal is output through speakers. All of
Introduction Smart home technology has been surging in popularity over the past decade. According to a recent poll, 46% of consumers believe that it is important that their current or next home has smart technology. Many smart home technologies are expensive to implement and require a third-party company to monitor and support the system. We

For our 4760 final project, we built a virtual bowling game interface on a black and white Television in which the ball can be controlled by the glove which has the flex sensors and the accelerometer attached to it. There are 5 flex sensors on the glove to detect the ball grasped and the ball
