Glove-Eye

Glove-Eye is a smart glove with ultrasonic sensor, as mobility guidance solution for the visually impaired. Built with Arduino Uno & ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04. If there's a barrier 1 m in front of the glove, it will buzz & vibrate as a warning sign for the visually impaired.

Watch the video below (click here) to see its action, then follow the instructions below to build your own Glove-Eye!

1. What You Need 🎁

To build this project, you need the following items:

• 1 Arduino Uno board
• 1 Ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor
• 1 buzzer
• 1 LED
• Arduino IDE (download here)

2. Schematics 🔧🔨

3. Sketch 📋

int ledPin = 12;  
int buzzerPin = 13;
int echo = 5;
int trig = 6;
long duration, cm;

void setup() {
    pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(buzzerPin, OUTPUT);
    pinMode(echo, INPUT);
    pinMode(trig, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
    digitalWrite(trig, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(5);
    digitalWrite(trig, LOW);
    duration = pulseIn(echo, HIGH);
    cm = duration/58;

    if (cm<100){
    digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(buzzerPin,HIGH);
    delay(100);
    }
    
    else{
    digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);
    digitalWrite(buzzerPin,LOW);
    }
}

4. Have Fun! 😎

• After uploading done, you can try to use this Glove-Eye. If there's a barrier 1 m (100 cm) in front of the glove, it will buzz to alerting you. Have fun!

5. Achievements ⭐

Glove-Eye was assembled by Rini, Ayu & Mia from science team of State Vocational High School 1 Depok (SMKN 1 Depok Yogyakarta) in 2015. You can read their paper & poster attached on this repo. Glove-Eye has been awarded several achievements:

• 🏆 Finalist of Creanovation Awards Dian Nuswantoro University (2015),
• 🏆 1st Winner of Technology Competition by Dikpora Sleman (2015), and
• 🏆 Top 5 Science Project Awards Sebelas Maret University (2015).
