Like everyone, we are inspired by [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/esp.html that German dude's belt], but think the big, clunky belt is too impractical. Skory thought of pairing an accelerometer with a compass to build a bracelet that responds to the relative difference in motion of the arm vs. direction to north. Eric suggested doing that instead in an anklet. Running into difficulties with the whole accelerometer business, we're starting simple just building a vibrating anklet, and teaching an Arduino to talk to it and | Like everyone, we are inspired by [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/esp.html that German dude's belt], but think the big, clunky belt is too impractical.

Running into difficulties with the whole accelerometer business, we're starting simple just building a vibrating anklet, and teaching an Arduino to talk to it and a HM55B 2-axis compass chip (we are actively pursuing economically upgrading to a 3-axis chip). | ||
