I had some difficulty implementing my vision on the glove before Thursday. However, over the weekend I took the opportunity to implement more of the desired functionality.
The glove has foil on each of its fingertips. The Arduino code reads an array containing the pin numbers of the fingers and tests if they, grounded wires, are connected to the thumb, which is a hot wire. If the finger is in connection with the thumb, it stores a value 0-3. The processing program then reads this value and alters the color of the hand based on what state is selected.
The inspiration for this type of function is the game Bioshock, where the player’s hands are all that’s visible.
