Role: Smart Products Designer
Project Type: Playful Expressive Wearable [2 week]

Role: Kitchen Utility Designer

Project Type: Breville Bambino - Low Price-Point Iteration

Prompt:
In two weeks, create a unique wearable device that senses a quantifiable emotional input to trigger an expressive visual output [have fun].

Solution:
A wearable upper body turtle shell that senses your embarrassment or nerves and rises up off your shoulders to hide you from disaster.

Outcomes:

↗

Coded and engineered an electric wearable from scratch that translates abstract input to dynamic output.

↗

Leveraged Arduino, Python, Sparkfun Hardware, and Home-made machine parts in unison to create a cohesive smart product.

Smart Products @ Georgia Tech

Python, Hardware, & Engineering.

Using code, motors, and custom parts to translate input to output.

Using Basic Python Code in an Arduino server, I was able to read metrics off of a soft potentiometer in the user's pocket, sense stress, and trigger a reaction. The code senses fidgeting, and activates a 150V DC motor that triggers my custom laser-cut acrylic rack & pinion to lift the shell off the user's shoulders.
