Research

This is my first semester as part of the Human Centered Robotics lab. Currently, my research is focused on the creation and making of a VR haptic glove that is intended to be used by individuals to provide stimulated physical feedback when a user interacts with an object while in a VR environment. The creation of the glove will be based heavily on the work of an open-source user on GitHub; this provides the foundations of the structure. However, over the course of the semester, I will focus the majority of my time on the creation of a structure to hold our VR remote and ways to increase the adjustability of the original design.
