Motion tracking technology has been largely used in Virtual Reality Game to offer more engaging experience. Most motion match device enables people to move their hands in virtual world. Based on this, our team think that providing haptical feedback to the contacts with virtual objects enhances the interaction between real world and virtual world.

We plan to build a glove with gyroscope/accelerometer sensors to track the motion of two fingers as well as vibration motors to give feedback to the fingers. Then a micro-controller will collect the raw data from sensors and transmit the data to a computer. The data should be analyzed by a program and an algorithm will calculate the position and movement of fingers as well as output the relative position in virtual world. We will use an existing 3D rendering software to generate the virtual world with a 3-D cubic object and the virtual hand. Conditions like touching the cube and pressing the cube will output a signal sending to a controller to activate the vibration motor on the glove so that to give a haptical feedback to the hand.

The proposal our group has is of creating a board that will be able to teach students about logic circuits hands on. The project will consist of a board and different pieces that represent gates. The board will be used to plug in the pieces and provide power to the internal circuitry of the pieces. The pieces will have a gate and LEDs inside, which will be used to represent the logic at the different terminals.

By plugging in and combining gates, students will be able to see the actual effect on logic from the different combinations that they make. To add to it, we will add a truth table that can be used to represent inputs and outputs required, for example, for a class project or challenge. The board will be able to read the truth table and determine whether the logic the student has created is correct.

This board can act as a great learning source for students to understand the working of logic circuits. It can be helpful in teaching logic design to students in high schools who are interested in pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Please comment on whether the project is good enough to be approved, and if there are any suggestions.
