  Week 15 Color Spray Paint I visited a hardware store and thankfully it had so many choices of beautiful colors to choose from. I bought 4 colors of spray paint to try out with the previously no-used 3d printing device. Results References Color I manage to have 2 colors applied to this device, something like this, Simulation of the pure color green placement The full body will be white, with some little color on it. Spray Paint Grey blue and white are the two colors I chose to use for the product. I polished the device's surface using sandpaper. Next, start by painting the product with a light coat of white, then gradually cover it with thick spray paint. The front and back side of the device were painted white whereas other parts were painted grey-blue. Outcome Send an email to the blind service organization This week, I also send an email to the organization.

  Week 14 Soldering all of them I then asked for technical consultation that the problem of noise occurs after solder although it can work. Then, I get to know that the code is correctly working, it was all based on the soldering connection problem which mean, I need to solder properly, then It can work smoothly. In the second video, I showcased the scale of the Arduino circuit after solder. Readjust the device size with the consideration of blind workers use it in their workplace The size of the device now is bigger than the previous size I proposed, I also added the pattern for the speaker part and attached them with magnets without screws. Holes for the magnet. I place it at the center to have more space for the component inside. And for the magnet, I choose a medium size of magnet to make sure it can hold the other part of the device. User testing During this period, I also do a small user test and provide them scenario. 3d printing progress It looks like that's...

Week 12 Onshape Tryout In my learning plan, I did mention I want to learn OnShape software. And I did it. As a beginner in the software, I search for some online tutorials to try to familiarize myself with how to use it. I also asked my friends who are experts in this software to teach me about some basic tools for using it. Onshape Modeling Here are some of my outcomes while learning OnShape software   The inner part of the device - uses for holding the buttons The center attach part of the device - uses for holding the soldered Arduino board and its component. The button cover- attach the button component and this cover will be displayed outside. The holes around the 4 corners - hold the screws The holes on the top of the device - microphone Testing the User-friendliness of the product While doing this, I also did some quick user testing on the user-friendliness of this product. I gave them the scenario and ask them what would they do on the occasion. User ...

Locked Down the display title on the device During the study week, I plan to spend time locking down the display title on the device and model out the appearance of the device. Below is a showcase of the Braille font display on the wearable device. Item  Item Task Task Note Note Phone No. Phone no. Hold for recording, Hold for recording, Then press once for playback Modeling device I then import the text as an image reference and model it out in Blender. The title arrangement was according to the previous interviewer's response which allocate the most important title in the first place and sequence arranging.             The surface of the device is flat to make the user easy to read the braille. A USB hole for them to power up the device. extrude and attach the front and back of the device holder for holding the string string for the device in the alpha test Modify the device To keep the project smaller scale, I removed the meeting...
