Abstract/Artist Statement

Design and implement a game for the iPhone which takes input from a virtual reality glove. The virtual reality grove will accept inputs from the user via flex sensors, and will communicate with the iPhone via Bluetooth. In order to demonstrate the functionality of the Bluetooth virtual reality glove, a rock-paper-scissors game was created. The game can either be played by simply touching the screen, or with the use of the Bluetooth VR glove. The iPhone has been one of the most successful pieces of technology during the last few years. Millions of customers have acquired this device ever since its release. A key feature of its success is the ability of users to create their own applications. The number of features that can be integrated in the iPhone seems to be endless.For our project, we developed a new virtual glove to interface with the iphone, and demonstrated it function by creating a Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game. The iPhone version is played by two players. One player is the iPhone itself and the second player is the user. The user is able to input his/her guess (Rock, Paper, or Scissors) using a Virtual Reality Glove and wireless connection.
