Project summary
I practice sports frequently: soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, run, swim, and other. Actually, I swim everyday. It is a super sport, but compare with other disciplines, is very individual and personal.
And, I have a frequently questions:
Problem
I usually swim everyday. Sometimes, I could hear music, improve my performance or see around the pool
People with visual disabilities needs one or more assistance to swim
People with visual disabilities have limited mobility and they usually hear the enviroment
Proposed solution
The idea is: With Fab Lab Academy learning process, How can I help people with visual disabilities to swim safely?
I design AquaGuide: a device that can be used in the pool, and that can help people with visual disabilities to swim safely.
