Click here for the full haptic feedback tech doc

Overview: 

Funny Kitty Stick is a cat-interaction simulator that utilizes an alternative controller, or a controller that was custom-made by our team. We utilized 3D tracking via IR sensors as well as electromagnets to provide haptic feedback in the attempt to simulate a cat tugging on a cat stick.

Main Responsibilities:
 

  • Lead R&D for 3D tracking and haptic feedback technologies

  • Design, code, and engineer hardware for the haptic feedback system

  • Integrate Arduino controller serial port communication with Unity and existing game structure
