This week, I have been chatting with my assigned alumni advisor, Andy. He was very helpful in suggesting what tools and programs I should use to create my thesis project.<\/p>\n
Two things I hadn’t thought to use before that he suggested are Unity and a Leap Controller. Unity should be able to create a textured model to show a crochet pattern and the Leap Controller should be able to pick up on hand movements and directions.<\/p>\n
I’ll have to look into them more, but I have never used either tools before. Luckily, I have friends who have experience with coding in Unity. As for the Leap Controller though, I would have to find access to one and do more research on how it is used. I did manage to find a blog that summarizes what it does:\u00a0http:\/\/blog.leapmotion.com\/hardware-to-software-how-does-the-leap-motion-controller-work\/<\/p>\n
