HEARING CAR PROJECT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
As a member of Georgia Tech's Engineering for Social Innovation team, we desired to create a device to assist the hearing impaired. Driving requires us to use all of our senses, not just our vision, and because of this, those with hearing disabilities are unable to experience the enjoyment and convenience of driving as safely as others. Our system seeks to display visually the vital aural information from the surroundings so those with hearing disabilities can drive safer than before. For this project, we partnered with the Idaho School for the Deaf and Blind.
This is the flowchart of our initial circuit operation. Each of the output signals will be received by a phone via Bluetooth in the project's final implementation. The circuit generates a simple state machine that consists of states represented by a single digit 0-4. Each state represents a different type of sound and direction.This digit tells the mobile app which warning screen to display.
OUR PARTNER
The school offers a Continuum of Services for all youth, birth to 21 years with hearing or vision loss, including those with other disabilities and deafness and blindness, in the State of Idaho:
The Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind is the center of educational expertise for these children, their families, and local education providers.
