Inspiration
Our inspiration stemmed from being in Gathertown. We were thinking about how great it was that gathertown was able to simulate being in person at an online event. This got us thinking about how within recent years there have been many innovations to take the advantages of being in person and bringing them online. We realized however that all these innovations were bringing real life qualities online, but non of them were bringing virtual qualities in person. We created our product to take some of the advances of online capabilities and bring them to real life.
What it does
Our product is a wearable eye glass device that alters the users social experience. If consumers can go into ghost mode online, why cant they do it person? Now they can! Our product features a status mode that the user can update at the touch of a button. Much like online, users can change their status to either "Do not Disturb" or "Available". Depending on what the status is, the device works differently. In addition, our product has the ability to adjust the frequencies which you hear the sounds around you through constructive and destructive interference.
How we built it
We created a 3D model of our prototype using AutoDesk Inventor. We then 3D printed our prototype using Cura and a Creality printer.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into some issues during the 3D printer process because the design was not sticking to the bed as desired. Although we had to stop our print early twice we were able to get a partial tangible prototype.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a rotating GIF of our prototype!
What we learned
We both learned a lot about the capabilities of bone conduction technology.
What's next for Incognito
To create a fully working prototype!
