What’s that?
‣ Originally, just a north-sensing “hat”
‣ Final version: a direction-sensing helmet‣ real time direction feedback through vibration
‣ head mounted device

What does it do?
‣ Three supported modes
‣ North-sensing mode
‣ Follow mode
‣ Massage!

What we learned
✓ Inadequate horse power in Arduino Uno• extremely hard to manage 2 software serial connections while
controlling vibrators and computing angles..
✓ Magnetometers are funny beasts• the one in the ArduIMU was probably defective, the external
standalone one was not precise enough to be of any use
✓ 360 degrees don’t fit in a byte• bugs can hide everywhere on an 8bit microprocessor

Future development
magnetometer yaw drift correction
better vibration patterns
multiple simultaneous feedbacks
