Week 4 Bouncer Blog

Our project is creating a survey about the use of the Hoyer Lift and a physical model of its use. What I am working on is using Jack Simulation with my teammate Shae to create a model and one way we are doing it is using the Xbox Kinect to do motion capture.

The hardest part up till now is getting the Kinect hooked up so we can use the mo-cap functions but thanks to Shae we can now transfer our movements to the model on Jack. Before we got to this point we had to deal with the device not being found and the server being down sometimes.

Our goal is to create a physical model of the use of a Hoyer Lift and to describe the actions taking place> If we are successful we would be to see what can be changed during the process of using the Hoyer Lift if any changes need to be made.
