Fab Lab Final Project - Jesus cane
We created this product to address the inconvenience of detecting only the length of a cane.
The cane uses ultrasonic sensors to reduce the risk of accidents by making a buzzer sound when people or objects approach it.
And not only does one sound sound, but the closer it gets, the faster it becomes, and the user can sense the threat approaching.
We made case design files for the machine using makercase site.
Using a laser cutter, cut 3.8 mm plywood into a case.
Using the laser cutter, holes were drilled for ultrasonic sensors, and holes were made for replacing batteries and for easy power up and down.
Several sensors were attached to the inside of the case, cables were connected, and batteries were connected to make the machine work.

As a result of practical use, it is better able to detect threats from further distances than previous canes and will be safer for people who are blind than conventional canes. However, it is likely that the modification of thin objects will make their use smoother.
