A few parts have arrived - Started to test the arduino


 Ideation Phase 1

This test involves the link of Arduino IDE with the Arduino mega. The other component used is an FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor). The above test shows the direct relation of pressure applied to the intensity of the LED. As we apply more pressure on the FSR, the intensity of the LED increases.

This test was a success and the FSR can be used in the footwear to detect pressure applied. Addition of an FSR could give the feature of applying pressure to move objects in a simulation. Although the mechanics of the game is not decided yet, I still think this is a successful test. Still waiting on the other parts to arrive.

The parts haven't arrived yet - Still working on finalizing the research question

A week has passed and still waiting on the purchase order to arrive. In the meantime, I have been looking through some readings like research papers and journal entries in the Griffith Online Library. I also have looked up for possible tutorials on how to operate the arduino online and anything else that would help me with the project. 

The Final Video Here is the final outcome of the game I designed
