Wearable Spatial Monitor
Hack@Brown Hackathon 2017

A hardware project designed, created, and tested in under 24 hours. It is a wearable for the shoe that aids those who have visual disadvantages navigate space such as the elderly. A vibrating motor located on the inside of the wearable notifies the user of when there are obstacles approaching in front and below the foot. This is achieved with sonar sensors that read the distance that the foot is from the ground and of objects in front of the foot. Our design was awarded the Newcomer Award.
