Projects in 2018
We held brainstorming sessions in order to gather possible solutions to our problem. After down-selecting our ideas, we ordered a seat that would fit into the size and shape of the base of the canoe.
To address this issue, we have used game design principles to integrate the advantages of VR into an accessible, low-cost physical toy.
Our solution is a device that will press the strings on the guitar and from the chords so the client does not have to. It involves a system of cantilevers, each shaped to form a specific chord, activated by…
The client has physical disabilities that impart his motor function. We are addressing this by linking a Child Ride-On Car to a remote control and modifying the Car's steering capability and battery…
Based on that need, we created a seat harness and cushion in order to keep him in the car and comfortable.
To bring these artifacts to the public, Sari and David applied for a grant to develop popup exhibits featuring 3D printed versions of the artifacts found in the Perkins School’s archives.
The goal of the project is to design a shirt that uses motion sensors to monitor physical therapy patients during their home exercises.
Our solution to this problem is a webcam-based eye tracking communication software with the ability to run on any laptop operating system with an integrated or attached webcam.
The project will consist of an arduino scope, a rechargeable lithium battery, and a 3D printed casing. The battery limits are never approached so failure due to heat is not viable.
Deaf people are inherently dependent on senses other than hearing for communication. Typically people with hearing impairment are more visually acute and will also utilize vibration…
By creating a design which modulates the amount of liquid at the top of the cup so that the person drinking does not have to tilt their head back will reduce the risk of choking and aspiration pneumonia.
The proposed device is a full version of the prototype that was completed last semester.
The design is a light-based sleep alignment system that encourages its user to maintain healthy sleep habits throughout the day.
CastBuddy is an integrated sensor sleeve worn underneath the orthopedic cast during the healing process.
To fit Lifestream's needs, the team is designing a new Sensory Wall that is meant to be a larger, more permanent fixture.
The goal of the ‘Sitting Up in Bed’ project is to develop a specialized solution to allow the client in Switzerland to go from a side lying position to an upright sitting position at the edge of…
Working from the first prototype, modifications were made to the adapted vacuum cleaner for easier use. A sliding rail system was put together using two pipes, pipe clamps, and custom 3-D…
By allowing both hand and feet power, this bike will help our client. Almost all of the commercially available bikes lack a proper steering mechanism that allow incorporation of feet power…
Our puzzle includes visual, auditory, and tactile sensory feedback in order to allow students at the Carter school to reinforce the idea that their actions can influence the world.
We want to design a automatic wheelchair umbrella system that will work for all kinds of wheelchair and easy for people to assemble.
