Adaptive Canoeing
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.
FITBoard (STEM Toys)
To address this issue, we have used game design principles to integrate the advantages of VR into an accessible, low-cost physical toy.
Adaptive Guitar
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…
Go Baby Go (Natalia)
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…
Go Baby Go (Pimpare)
Based on that need, we created a seat harness and cushion in order to keep him in the car and comfortable.
Blind Culture Artifacts
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.
WHAM (VR Monitoring)
The goal of the project is to design a shirt that uses motion sensors to monitor physical therapy patients during their home exercises.
Infrared Scope
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.
Music for the Deaf
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…
Parkinson’s Cup
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.
Lite Brite V2
The proposed device is a full version of the prototype that was completed last semester.
Sleep Wake Clock
The design is a light-based sleep alignment system that encourages its user to maintain healthy sleep habits throughout the day.
Smart Cast
CastBuddy is an integrated sensor sleeve worn underneath the orthopedic cast during the healing process.
Sensory Wall
To fit Lifestream's needs, the team is designing a new Sensory Wall that is meant to be a larger, more permanent fixture.
Sitting Up in Bed
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…
Ponytail Helper
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…
Recumbent Bike
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…
Sensory Puzzle
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.
Wheelchair Umbrella v3
We want to design a automatic wheelchair umbrella system that will work for all kinds of wheelchair and easy for people to assemble.
