While taking a course in digital making at the University of Illinois, Arielle Rausin, a member of the university's varsity wheelchair racing team, decided to embark on a project to create custom fit wheelchair racing gloves. She began with a visit to the visualization laboratory at the Beckman Institute on campus and brought a custom fit glove in to be scanned. Having printed her own pair, and put over 500 miles on them, she is now working with the idea of creating a process by which anyone could send her a scan of their hand and she could create a pair of custom fit gloves just for them.
