An ongoing research project at the University of Central Arkansas could turn into a big deal on the international business stage later this month. Bears Unlimited, a team of four UCA computer science students, will compete in the world finals of the 12th annual Microsoft Imagine Cup next week in St. Petersburg, Russia. The team, which consists of UCA seniors John White, Ben Tackett, Kyle Eichelberger and graduate student Michelle Enfinger, developed a sensor-filled glove for use in hand, wrist and forearm therapy. Faculty mentors are Sinan Kockara and Tansel Halic. The glove, called the Bear Claw, is infused with sensors that track the progress of physical therapy patients. The glove is used to play specially designed games through a smartphone app that enables the system to track progress from home. On Thursday, the team performed the 10-minute pitch it will deliver in Russia for UCA officials, friends and supporters. Eichelberger said the product incorporates real-time graphics simulation for visual motivation and feedback.
