Braille XR

Inspiration

everything's going digital and the cost of braille devices is exorbitant

What it does

let's a user input and read braille in xr with hand tracking

How we built it

esp32 + 6 servos setup to communicate with our stereokit demo over udp getting hand tracking from lmc2 (Ultraleap) through monado (headset optional)

Challenges we ran into

PIN ID's on the board were mislabeled 3 different CAD programs failed to perform for our team monado needed to modified and rebuilt 3d printer bowden tube fell out during critical print

Accomplishments that we're proud of

overcoming challenges and maintaining progress

What we learned

hardware is hard, and probably requires twice the length of a software jam

What's next for Braille XR

test and improve with proficient braille readers, and refactor the repo too make it more accesssible
