So, I've been talking about all of this project stuff but I really have never extrapolated as to what I am doing. So, to reiterate, the project is entitled Lightness. I have defined lightness as a relief of burden. Along with the lightness, I was assigned with the material of metal wire and a population of visually impaired individuals.
My general interest is in recreation, so I initially came up with some ideas that related to that. These were all drawn as of October 28th.
Hands-free White Cane... not so good...
Wire exercise dolls... tactile dolls that help to better illustrate the correct way to perform certain exercises... creative?
Lane Keeping device that I mentioned to Vincent Martin. RFID antennae installed under white lane markers on running tracks. RFID tag goes in shoes and links to a glove. Glove has a left and a right vibrating mechanism that increase intensity the closer one gets to the edge of the lane. This could enable blind people to run alone, and at full stride. Thought this was cool!
