Motivation

For individuals missing a hand or part of their upper limb, there is a severe lack of prosthetic solutions for swinging a golf club with proper form. The leading product on the market results in poor swing mechanics and discomfort to the user.

Objective

To develop the first prosthetic golf attachment with a wrist joint to simulate the trailing wrist and hand, giving golfers with disabilities more control and power over their swing.

Description

This is a proof of concept environment designed as a tool for retailors to test store layouts and visualize sales data in virtual reality. It is meant to enable store managers to base layout decisions on data and visual appeal without physically moving furniture. The environment was created in Unity and the project centered around customizing controller interactions, user interfaces, and visual design.
