toio-fingerrover-simulator is a virtual obstacle course navigator app for the Sony toio™ robot. Also, as the name suggests, this is also a FingerRover simulator for demonstrating the Locating Object application from our CHI'23 paper Take My Hand: Automated Hand-Based Spatial Guidance for the Visually Impaired.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

In order to build and run the simulator on your computer, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

This library depends on noble, so follow noble's prerequisites please.
Windows : needs Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter. This video is good for beginners - Bluetooth LE with Node.js and Noble on Windows

NOTE: The simulator was tested on an M1 MacBook Air running macOS Ventura 13.0 and Node.js v16.13.1

Simulating FingerRover

For simulating FingerRover using toio, you will additionally need the following hardware:

Building the Simulator

Once all the prerequisites are met, you can use the commands below to build the simulator:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/adildsw/toio-fingerrover-simulator

# Navigate to project directory
cd toio-fingerrover-simulator

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build frontend
npm run build

Running the Simulator

Once the simulator is built, you can start the simulator using the following command:

npm run prod

You can now arrange the virtual obstacles as per your needs, and then click on a target point to automatically navigate toio to that point. Alternatively, you can also use W S A D keys to manually control toio.

This simulator supports both sides of the toio COLLECTION play mats, and simply placing the toio on either side will render the corresponding mat on the screen.
