No Lights, Yes Move |

Presentation

This project presents a solution to mobility in environments without visible or for those with visual impairments light, using the distance sensors coupled to an Arduino microcontroller to be measured distances between you and the obstacle, returning to this one vibratory stimulus inversely proportional to this measured distance.

The features of this device can be directed to the most different purposes such as aid to visually impaired people extreme, for professionals who meet special routines as caregivers of infants or elderly and still applied in artistic performances.

His presentation, allows the device to be used in various parts of the body, with the alternative of the user to connect multiple devices through wireless signals or send them to a computer for use in any specific purpose.

Method

The device on the light, move Yes (NLYM) is constructed on a pad, which can be placed anywhere in the body and used when more than one pad can have a better sense of the space where the user is via the different response of each
device, which behave inversely proportional to measured distance, ie the shorter the distance, the greater the stimulus.

An example of use in the palm of a hand:

Development

The NLYM device is in continuous development and was built for the participation in Hybrid Project as a prototype, which should be enhanced for various purposes
possible.

Here are some pictures of the development of the prototype:

In the laboratory phase of the Hybrid Project, were discussed with the participating team, several issues related to use of the device and the possibilities for use. Among them stood the artistic performance that generated adjustments to the original design and the design of two performances, entitled Chastity Belt and Tecnopasse Hackianista, which follow described in their respective annexes projects, the performing modalities and
expository.

Conclusion

As mentioned earlier, this project, NLYM device is in continuous development and from each presentation or demonstration it is perfected through reactions or needs that the user transmits team
project development.

At the end of the Brazilian stage of the Hybrid Project, held on April 30, 2014, the NLYM device was tested with performance “Tecnopasse Hackianista” and construction of apparatus for the performance “Chastity Belt”.

Through this method of investigation in the field, we aim to reach a common denominator the various possible applications and adding features to the device.
