Last Term’s Product A game where a user equipped with the Myo and Microsoft Hololens could play Rock, Paper, Scissors against an AI opponent . They had it rough… It is hard to develop with the Hololens • It is hard to develop with the Myo band • Underestimated the difficulty of the processes • involved What we learned… Focus on what is needed – Don’t overdo • it Develop something that works early • Keep rigorous documentation •

What We Set Out To Do WE WILL CREATE AN AR EXPERIENCE WHERE A LOWER ARM AMPUTEE CAN CONTROL AN AUGMENTED REALITY ARM THAT IS PROJECTED OVER THE AMPUTATION POINT TO COMPLETE A VIRTUAL RECREATION OF THE BOX & BLOCK MANUAL DEXTERITY TEST.

What We Actually Made WE CREATED AN EXPERIENCE THAT CAN BE PLAYED ON PC AND SOON IN AUGMENTED REALITY WHERE THE USER CAN COMPLETE A VIRTUAL RECREATION OF THE BOX & BLOCK MANUAL DEXTERITY TEST, AS WELL AS A FUN MINIGAME, USING A DIGITAL ARM. Box and Block Test 1-to-1 digital recreation • A fun and complimentary game mode • A robust application • User accessibility and extra options • Demo-friendly • Extensive testing • Thorough Documentation • Future-development friendly •

Project Innovations • Only EMG PLP treatment without professional assistance • First EMG PLP treatment with no wires • Highly immersive PLP treatment that amputees can have at home • One of few treatments designed to improve prosthetic adoption • One of the first games to utilize the Soliton Reach • First game made for amputees using Myo • First digital recreation of the Box and Block Test

For the Future Pre-Patient Testing • Soliton positional arm tracking • Switch-handedness • Full AR functionality • Custom gesture decoder Nice-to-Have’s • More modes and tests! • Robust data tracking system • Additional customization options • Features from target user feedback

Team Successes • Came into the project fresh • Had to make almost everything ourselves • We had interns! • Agility was off the charts

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Let’s answer some questions…
