ABOUT





One of the challenges I faced in this project was that I didn't have prior experience in manipulating robot arms. Additionally, I needed to develop calibrations between different devices to create a unified experience. These involved calibrations between Leap Motion and the projector, the robot and Leap Motion, and the robot and the transparent screen, all sharing the same virtual space.

Besides Computer Vision algorithms, I was also responsible for the flocking behavior of “nanobots” and the app's flow. The graphical assets were provided by a designer.
