Third Eye: Bicycle Blind Spot Detector

The Physical Product: These are the two components making up "Third Eye" an Ultrasonic sensor and a Halo Neo-pixel light. Along with this product one would be either receive the wiring necessary to connect these two pieces on your bike or wireless capabilities to keep them in sync While in use. On the right; this piece is clipped under your bicycle seat pointing behind you into your blind spots. On the left; this part would fit into the handlebar screw on your bike creating a display for the light. (Both Fixed on example bike below)
Real Functioning Tech: Here is a video showcasing the real power of the product, these distances and light speeds can be altered and adjusted when properly fixed to a real bike. Within this video we show that this product can actually function how we'd like it too. As a object (a car) gets closer to the blind spot of a bike, the Halo Neo-pixel light spins faster and faster as the object gets closer and closer, giving the visual signal of an incoming car behind the rider.
Tech Images: Once the real tech is finalized, it can be shrunken down to a simple board and fit inside the heads up display which would be fixed to the handle bars of the bike.
Original Design Ideas: Here are some process photos from our initial design. What begun as a rider wearable soon moved to a fixed product on the bike. With many complications and imperfections with the wearable tech we moved away from this changing the visual notification to the rider completely.
