The mission of team Engineering 4 Eyes (E4E) is to conceptualize, design, and implement a device which will aid persons with low vision in the detection of obstacles and/or hazards. Persons with low vision are unable to detect objects that are at or above waist level. Team E4E will create a device from start to finish to solve this problem following certain criteria obtained from potential users. The device will be discrete and will not draw attention to the client. The device will not impair the use of existing equipment used by the client. The device will be encased in an enclosure that would be able to attach to any cane. This will be done by using multiple Maxbotix Ultrasonic Range Finders with an Arduino Nano board that uses an Atmega328 microcontroller.
