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
