Button V2

Problem

How might we enable persons with sensory and upper body mobility needs to easily control their assistive devices?

Thought Process

• Large surface area for easy contact
• Wireless functionality to enable easy placement of button onto any surface
• Tactile feedback to enable easy sensing that the button has been activated
• Long battery life
• Easier interactivity with the button

Prototype

• 3D printed the base to house the electronics
• DIY Silicon molded top with embeded capacitive touch
• Arduino + NRF module

Testing

Tested the button with 6 persons with disabilities and received positive feedback
