They had it rough…

A game where a user equipped with the Myo and Microsoft Hololens could play Rock, Paper, Scissors against an AI

• pponent.
• 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

Last Term’s Product

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.

• 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

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.

• 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

Project Innovations

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

For the Future

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

Team Successes
