Overview

My project is based on helping solve safety hazards for Deaf/Hard of Hearing or Deaf-blind individuals. For this project, I used Arduino to program an alarm system that will alert people through vibrations in case of fire emergencies. Silent Signal is a useful device that can help save lives. It is best used during the day, but can be used during night. This technology has many applications, including an alternative to bed/pillow-shakers to alert people of an emergency while sleeping; use in situations where strobe lights are not accessible or are harmful to individuals who have seizures triggered by flashing lights (epilepsy); and alerting those who are blind.
