Working documents and internal design reviews, kept for the record.
Nothing here is peer reviewed. These are the program's own working documents: the design review record, the founder's proposals as submitted, and the reviews that answered them, with sources and recorded dissent.
- REVIEWThe design review recordTwelve open questions from 160 ideas, settled in design review, with dissent recorded and every public claim rewritten where it had to be. Kept in the research archive.Read it
- SPECDepth to tactile matrix, the proposalThe founder's specification for a depth camera to tactile matrix system, published in full beside its design review.Read it
- REVIEWDesign review: depth to tactile matrixThe proposal judged section by section in design review: what enters TEK now, what is amended, what is declined and why.Read it
- SPECThe haptic interface engine, the proposalThe founder's proposal to grow the kit into an open-source haptic-tactile interface engine: a wearable motor grid fed by a phone, a game-based training ground, and an open SDK. Published in full beside its design review.Read it
- REVIEWDesign review: the haptic interface engineThe proposal judged section by section in design review: the program adopted, the body and the numbers amended, the latency budget declined, with sources.Read it
- SPECA research-grade platform site, the briefThe founder's brief asking the site to present the kit as a research-grade, open-source haptic platform in five sections, published as submitted beside its design review.Read it
- REVIEWDesign review: a research-grade platform siteFour reviewers judged the brief section by section: the substance adopted as a research program page, the packaging declined, with sources.Read it
- NOTEDesign review note: where the camera sitsThe founder asked for a chest camera, not a belt camera. Design review agrees, keeps the sensor pod at the waist for the ground grid, and sends waist against chest for the forward grid to the bench.Read it
- NOTEThe brain moves to the phoneThe announcement: the second generation drops the Jetson Orin Nano; the wearer's smartphone on a chest mount carries the compute and the AI, integrated with the kit's microcontrollers, drivers, and motors across the isolation boundary.Read it
