CSEF · 2019 Electronics & Electromagnetics

Alexander F. Diaz-Cruz, Mylah H. Punla · University Preparatory, Victorville, San Bernardino County

Overview

Objectives Our goal is to help the visually impaired feel safer when using our cane rather than a regular white cane. Methods Wood dowel, paint, tape, glue gun, hot glue, breadboard, charger, portable charger, 3 sonar sensors, wires, solder, and a soldering gun. Results Several trials were tested to make sure our cane worked better than the regular white cane. We had our friends put blindfolds on and test out the white cane in a maze. The sensored white cane had improved the time that they finished the maze. In conclusion, the sensored white cane helps the user feel safer and move quicker while walking. Conclusions After many trials, we had found that the sensored white cane was much more accurate and easy to use. The cane was much more accurate than the regular white cane. The cane vibrates when you get close to something. In conclusion, the sensored white cane helps the user feel safer while walking.
