V0.3 Description¶
Improved Prototype - this version of the Holoseat will apply lessons learned from the previous versions and work to make the Holoseat more robust in preparation for a production prototype. In particular, it will look into the use of Hall effect sensors in place of the reed switch and it will investigate the use of a desktop application to interact with the Holoseat to adjust the configuration and get feedback from the Holoseat controller. Specific development will include:
- Testing the use of Hall effect sensors
- Support for "reverse walking"
Support for "running" vs "walking" based on step rate in games which support two speeds of movement- Updated documentation including improved instructions (format, drawings from Fritzing instead of photos, etc)
- Development of a desktop client (Windows only for this version) which will
- Support updating the controller's firmware
- Manage configuration (save defaults to the Holoseat controller, adjust live settings that reset to defaults on controller restart)
Holoseat activity reporting (number of steps in this session, this hour, this day, this week, this month, this year, “life”)Potentially tie into website for badges, etc based on activity level and games playedSupport weigh ins?
