Modeling

Using Autodesk Inventor I modelled up glasses to fit all the components and included clip in closures for the electronics.

Circuit Design

Using a bunch of electrical components I created a system capable of running cameras , microprocessors, buttons and haptics for up to 2 hours. Here’s the high level electrical schematic for the the glasses.

Problem Solving

Problem solving was required for every aspect of the project. In the initial brainstorming phase, we had to come up with ways to help our client. Afterwards, we had to transfer the idea into a working prototype. During this phase, we had to come up with many ways to do things we had no experience in before. One of the more challenging tasks that I was in charge of was figuring out how to power our cameras. Because we wanted the device to be small, we knew we had to use LiPo batteries, which unfortunately only come in discrete voltages and not in the required voltage for our device. Off the shelf regulator were too bulky, so using resistors, transistors, and heat sinks, I created my own mini voltage regulators capable of passing over an amp of power through at the 5 volts required for the cameras.
