  • Working on getting the fingertip positions out of the modelview matrix
    • mat[12] = x
    • mat[13] = y
    • mat[14] = z
  • Added the ability to change colors in the hand and joints for Dong’s test. It didn’t work on his machine at home?
  • There is something odd about how the model view matrix is being affected by the fingers? Nope – just had the test transformations happening while the view transforms were still on the stack. So local to global coordinate transformations are working. That was *much* easier than I expected.
  • Building collision detection into sphere and box. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I’m going to see if I can use a library. Checking out bulletphysics.org, and the java implementation, JBullet
