Inspiration
Comic Books is a multi-million dollar industry, and when including all the movies inspired by comics, the result is phenomenal. What SENSATION does is provide a new way for people to navigate the world of comics. Personally, I don't follow comic books even though I find them incredibly interesting, so I wanted to find a novel way to combine Virtual Reality and all this data.
What it does
SENSATION uses the Myo Arm Band as a controller. Reading poses, rotation, yaw, and height in unique combinations, my program pulls up all the comics and specific stories involving your character in gestures related to the character. There are two modes. One is a search mode that uses specific combinations of gestures that map to certain character ids. The other pulls up a random story and makes you choose a character to defeat the main characters of the story, kind of like a huge game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
How I built it
Written in C++, using Myo as an input controller. The specific order of hand symbols map to a single character ID. This ID is then run through Marvel's API, from which the program grabs a story.
