Manual Sensekit Calibration
Guide to do Manual Calibration of the SenseKit.
Within the AMAS VR App, achieving precision in your virtual reality robotics setup is paramount. To empower users with ultimate control over the positioning and alignment of their SenseKits, the app offers the Manual Calibration process. This advanced feature provides a comprehensive array of adjustments to ensure that your SenseKit seamlessly integrates with your virtual experience. In this section, we'll delve into the intricacies of the Manual Calibration process, exploring its benefits and the six main transformation modes it offers.
Six Main Transformation Modes
The AMAS VR App's Manual Calibration process offers six main transformation modes, each targeting specific aspects of positioning and orientation:
Right Transformation: Adjust the lateral position of the SenseKit along the right axis, allowing you to precisely control its placement.
Up Transformation: Fine-tune the vertical positioning of the SenseKit using the up axis, ensuring accurate alignment with your hand movements.
Forward Transformation: Control the depth positioning of the SenseKit along the forward axis, enhancing the realism of your interactions.
Roll Transformation: Achieve rotational adjustments around the SenseKit's own axis, enabling you to set the desired orientation for optimal interaction.
Pitch Transformation: Make controlled changes in the pitch angle, affecting the tilt of the SenseKit to match your hand's natural movements.
Yaw Transformation: Modify the yaw angle, controlling the SenseKit's rotation around the vertical axis to align with your hand's orientation.
Fine-Grained Precision
What sets the Manual Calibration process apart is its ability to offer three levels of adjustment factors: 1, 0.1, and 0.01. This fine-grained control allows you to make subtle modifications for highly accurate positioning. Whether you're aiming for precision in delicate interactions or refining the alignment of your SenseKit for a more immersive experience, these adjustment factors cater to a diverse range of needs.
