readRelax

DeltaHacks IV, McMaster University

DeltaHacks uses a Leap motion controller to track your hand movements and flip pages of a virtual book as if you were doing it in real life. It also allows you to gradually increase your reading speed using principles of speed reading.

About

readRelax uses a Leap Motion to create an immersive speed reading experience.

The problem with speed reading is that it presents a large learning curve. Using readRelax, we can help students increase their reading speed by only gradually increasing their reading speed, and doing so in a way that is comfortable for them.

Technology

  • Python
  • Xesto Wave API to track motion of the hand

Next Steps

In the future, we'd like to:

  • create a more immersive frontend using Virtual Reality i.e. an Oculus Rift
