Multiple points of reference for tracking

Beta testing revealed that the use of one IR LED for tracking served the purpose but did not exactly provide enough reference points to simulate shapes efficiently. To solve this issue two more LEDs were added to the front of the glove (see pictures below).

Three LEDs as opposed to one lets the prototype capture left and right limits to the user's hand and a center reference point.

The motors trigger upon hitting obstacles as before, but the intensity increases the deeper the user is within an obstacle

Prototype V3 Test

Feedback intensity and patterns changed, 3 LEDs instead of 1 used to reference points.

The following video illustrates the freedom of tilt the glove permits the user.
