I've been sick the last two days ... but DUDE, you're obsessed
Not that I'm complaining, it's good progress

I prefer option 3 mainly because at the end of the day, I would idealy like a self-contained glove
Until we eliminate the wires that obviously won't happen, but I would like to find out if the vibration will actually work to trigger lucidity

If we could use bluetooth - that would be incredible
No wires, but PC operability
However as you said, either complexity or cost will increase if we do that

I'll invite my electronics loving friend around this weekend to go over the ideas, and see what he thinks
If you do manage to build a device, shipping one to me would be pretty helpful
The shipping cost would be the main factor here I guess
Our exchange rate isn't great either
Perhaps it would be easier to bribe a friend to build it for me

Once I have a device, I could experiment with the software and try fine tuning things
I'd love to see my stats on the screen

I haven't finished looking at all your links, will do so today probably
Things are pretty hectic on my side at the moment, with me being sick and transferring 2 properties at once
