Since the order has been delayed due to covid restrictions, I was unsure of when the parts would arrive from New South Wales. I decided to work on the theory side of the project. I have been playing with my research question which is " HOW MIGHT WE DESIGN AND INTEGRATE HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY IN TRADITIONAL SHOES FOR ACTIVITY TRACKING AND TRAINING? " but something about the research question doesn't feel right. The classes have begun as well and I am looking forward to attending the classes in person as well. Not much activity this week for now besides pondering on what the research question should be.

As most of the parts ordered was extra, it was better to be prepared for anything than having nothing at all. I also dropped the idea of 3-D printing soles and decided to buy it. Then I would attach the vibration motors to the flip flop.
