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.
