Design Summary - Analysis Draft #1

In the article entitled "Force-Sensing Gloves Cloud Control An iPhone By Detecting Gestures and How Objects Are Gripped," Owen (2019) mentions that Apple wanted to create a glove technically capable of engaging with technologies for individuals. This glove is made of fabric meshed with conductive layers that sense the forces applied in the glove when the user touches a surface. In addition, this glove will detect how much pressure is applied and the number of fingers used. The author also states that Apple will look at different ways a user can control an application without interacting with the touchscreen. The glove will include conductive strands that are woven together with normal threads and thus able to monitor contact outside while the inside contains sensors for compression from the fingers. Owen also adds that it opens opportunities to replace handheld controllers in VR and AR. While Owen provides substantial details on what material is incorporated in the gloves

Self introduction

Subject: Self-introduction to professor Brad Blackstone. Dear professor Blackstone, I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Engineering. Previously coming from Institute of Technical Education (ITE), I achieved Higher NITEC in Mechanical Engineering with an achieving mindset I departed from ITE to Singapore polytechnic Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering direct second year. After graduating from polytechnic, I had some time to think about which course to choose to pursue in the different universities in Singapore.  After seeing the courses available in the university Singapore Institute of Technology and having a background in mechanical engineering, I decided to continue my studies in mechanical engineering. The reason why I did not continue my studies in aerospace is because what I learnt in Singapore polytechnic is mainly specialized in the aerospace industries, which is very in-depth; comparing to what I will learn in mechanical engineeri
