Status Update ● Completed Testing ● Working on including flex sensor ● Finalized final demo content – No Wii – Controlling content on the laptop – (through java.awt.Robot) Concept Reminder: Using an interactive glove to control virtual environments
Experimentation Plan ● Metrics: – Round Trip Time – Lag Time – Messages per Second ● Measured as: – Round Trip Time = end_time – start_time ● end_time = time packet is received back by tmote ● start_time = time accelerometer data is read – Lag Time = Round_trip / 2 ● More important for our system – Messages per Second ● Messages received through the USB to Java ● Total messages received over total system time
Initial Data Throughput: 1 message every ms (or ~ 38 messages/sec) Distance over 28 ft is undesirable
Looking Forward... ● Lessons: – Errors during testing are time consuming – Changing the timer for data collection produces weird results ● Working on a demo program ● Adding more functionality – Touch sensors – Flex sensors
