2.009 Recap wearables, games, and other SUPER products

2.009 Recap wearables, games, and other SUPER products Last week, I posted the webcast  of the final presentations for 2.009 (Product Engineering Processes), a capstone product design course in Course 2 (MechE). As promised, I wanted to follow up with a recap blog post this week now that the 2.009 staff has posted the final presentation videos. You can watch the full video here: If you would like to watch a particular team demo a particular product, you can use these timestamp links to skip ahead to that point in the video: Silver team: fireSense, a wearable for firefighters that can detect if a room is unsafe to enter without opening the door (brochure) Red team: Blink, glasses that allow those living with extremely limited motor function (e.g. ALS patients) to control smart home devices with their eyes (brochure) Green team:  tachi, a board game platform for the visually impaired and sighted to play together (brochure) Pink team: Volti, a hands-free music page turner for musicians (brochure) Blue team: Robin, a wearable that provides real-time haptic feedback to help those who are hard of hearing modulate their voice (brochure) Yellow team: Coordinate, a system that provides real-time feedback via mesh networking for search and rescue teams (brochure) Purple team: Animo, a wearable that detects Parkinsons tremors and vibrates antiresonantly to neutralize them (brochure) Orange team: Rhino, a device for masons to help speed up, and clean up, the repair of brick facades (brochure) If youd like to learn more about the class, you can watch this mini-documentary following the Silver team through the process: the build challenge from early in the class to get students accustomed to collaborating in order to build things that solve problems: and a recap of some fond memories from the class: 2.009 is definitely one of those only at MIT kind of classes. I love going to the finals every year and seeing what the students who we help admit end up designing for the world! Post Tagged #2.009 #Course 2 - Mechanical Engineering
