The goal of the project was to design an assistive device for someone else. We were to get to know our client and understand where in their life they could benefit from something that we could create. We then kept in contact with them throughout the building process to make sure we were making something that addressed their goals. The notes and insights from the interview can be found here.<\/span><\/p>\n

What We Built<\/h2>\n

We created a braille alarm clock. The alarm clock is fully functional by someone who is both without sight and hard of hearing. The user can check and reset the current time, as well as set the time for when they\u2019d like their alarm to go off, and it will reliably do so.<\/span><\/p>\n
