Inspiration

An affordable and functional piece for a connected world.

What it does

Glassedelic uses a heads up display to project psychedelic imagery while connecting you to the world. It syncs thru your Android phone via Bluetooth and displays your notifications as they come in. Cycle thru notifications with intuitive hand gestures.

How we built it

The hardware is made of a Freescale/NXP ARM Cortex M4F microcontroller. For optimal power consumption, it is clocked at 48MHz. The sensor array consists of an 8x8 Thermal Camera and Time of Flight Sensor, which work together to detect close range hand gestures. The Android companion application is built using Android Studio.

Challenges we ran into

Hardware management, including the use of memory and clock cycles on limited hardware.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Gesture detection that is accurate and resource friendly. The gesture detection runs smoothly on low power hardware and uses less than 6KB of memory.

What we learned

Android programming, interfacing of sensors, I2C.

What's next for Glassedelic

More gestures can be detected by the sensor array. We look forward to incorporating more interaction and more refined performance.
