This project is a rough graphical reproduction of the Team Handy Finger Spelling Hand produced for the Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute during the 2008-2009 academic year for ENGR 470/481/482/483: Interdisciplinary Senior Design Project. I wanted to make a graphical representation of this form during the project but I had not taken a class in graphics and as a result I did not want to implement the graphics pipeline myself in order to make this project. As a result I waited until taking this class in order to produce this, even though the beneficial effect it is able to have on the project is now negligable. It does provide an avoidance algorithm that was missing from the project design, which is actually exactly why I wanted to make this in the first place.

Of Note

The letters 'r', 'v', and 'z' are actually adjusted variations on the original symbol, these are represented as such in an effort to minimize the number of degrees of freedom required by the model, this decision was made in an effort to reduce the complexity and resulting cost of the physical device produced last year. The variations used here were accepted by SKERI during the original duration of the project.
