8:00 – 4:00 FP

• Back from the mini-vacation, which was fine until it became horrible.
• Working with Tom on getting sounds to behave. It turns out that a single channel/instrument can be polyphonic, which is very cool, but it means that you have to turn a note on and off. I adjusted the SoundDataObject.update() method so that a JSON element of {"nt":72} will play middle C, while {"nt":-72} will turn it off. Setting {"nt":0} will trigger a reset of the Midi for that finger. Or at least it should. Reset isn’t working. Tom thinks it may be a mislabeled pin.
• Cool thing for the day: https://live.leapmotion.com/. It strikes me that the Leap could be used as the basis for a finger chasing robot.
• Here’s a paper that addresses something like what I’m thinking of: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~jcorso/pubs/gyeSMCC2003.pdf
• And a video of some related stuff: http://youtu.be/jQjG1Wyr8Uk. Assume that the puck is capable of motion, and that the fingers of the users are tracked. Then the haptics can be there when the user’s hands touch the table.
