MS Gloves

A consultation for Wilson Built in Brooklyn, New York.

This was a short adaptation project from existing hardware.  Wireless communication was needed between gloves, which simulate sensations to that of multiple sclerosis.

These modules were adapted from Velleman IR transmitter/receiver pairs, allowing vibrating motors to be triggered remotely by software.  This software was integrated with visual and treadmill feedback, which was all synced to emulate an experience from the perspective of a person with MS.
