LoFi & MeFi Prototypes

Here we present the low fidelity and medium fidelity prototypes for the product we design and develop.

The design of the product is presented in the pictures below. Here is a smart cane for visually impaired people, which consists of an RFID reader placed 5 cm from the bottom of the cane (so that it does not get broken when walking, but is still in contact with the RFID tags' coverage area), and a specially designed handle that has an ON-OFF button,  two buttons that answer the yes-no questions (the YES button is rectangular, while the NO button is round), a bluetooth communicator, batteries' state indicator, batteries, a USB port for charging and data communication (e.g. firmware installation), microcontroller.







The 3rd floor plan is presented in the next picture, together with the RFID tags' places highlighted on it:


The storyboard for the scenario we presented in an earlier post is in the next two pictures:



Finally, here is an overview of the system architecture and the sequence of actions performed :
