SONIC SIGHT

During my freshman year, I had the opportunity to take a freshmen projects class, GEEN 1400. In this semester long class, my team developed a product called Sonic Sight. Sonic Sight is assistive technology for visually impaired persons. Similar to echolocation, Sonic Sight uses super sonic waves emitted by the sensor and it measures the time it takes for the waves to bounce off objects and return to the sensor. A small processor analyzes the data inputted and emits a vibration based off of the distance the user is from an object. The casing for this product was 3D printed, and attaches to glasses or a hat with the clips on the side. For this project, my role was to create the Solidworks design and 3D print the casing. This project was so fun to work with because I was able to understand more completely what being an engineer means.
