Force-Sensing Gloves Summary Second Draft

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 force sensing (FS) 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 sense 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 FS 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 (2019) also adds that FS glove has the capability to replace handheld controllers in VR and AR. Although there is some information and features were giv...

Self Inroduction

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Muhammad Fadzly Bin Sapari. The purpose of this email is to introduce myself. I am a fresh graduate from diploma of Automation Mechatronic Systems specialized in Marine at Ngee Ann Polytechnic from the year 2014 to 2017. Currently, I am pursuing degree in Mechanical Engineering at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). I decided to pursue a degree in engineering because it was a dream of mine to be a professional engineer. Besides, I am comfortable and confident during practical classes. Since young, I love to assemble things and create a prototype based on my own creativity. During my diploma years, I was attached to Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) where I get to explore the world of engineering and given the opportunity to learn and discover new learning every day. Therefore, I decided to further pursue engineering in degree. Regarding a communication weakness, I was often inspired to be an engineer just like my uncle, a marine ...
