viSparsh Prototype 2




We have finally been able to come up with the 2nd prototype of the belt as shown in the pic. Although, the size of the belt still looks similar to the previous version, we have done some major technical upgradations in the belt. The belt has now more robust power management system with single ON-OFF button and less components. Previous post provides the list of changes in this new prototype.
After making it functionally robust, our next aim is to decrease the size of the belt.



In the next version, we are trying to make a sleek design by considering various possibilities like replacing bigger PandaBoard with small BeagleBone, removing Kinect's plastic casing to use only the required components etc.
One of our main focus at present is to build a sleek design before adding more functionalities.
