Here’s the first prototype of the Blind Man’s watch we have to design for “Designing for Constraints”.
Using a vibrating motor and a small battery I was able to enclose them into a pill shaped plastic enclosure that came with my ear-phones. The switch is to manually activate the vibrating motor – eventually this would be replaced by a time circuitry that would vibrate the motor according to the time of day it was.
Nice! I wish I was in this class. I can’t wait to see what you guys have in 14 weeks. I had a lot of fun making a blind man’s watch using the vibe motor on my cell phone before. http://cwwang.com/2007/05/24/haptic-clock/
Thanks! Your project is great! This class is going to be great I think. What classes are you in?
