CURRENT PROJECTS
MSIS – Wearable communication device for non-verbal students with extreme gross motor problems
Some students face difficulties in speech and mobility. Hence, the objective is to provide a simple method for them to communicate “yes” and “no” answers. Different children face different kinds of limitations and handicaps. Thus, this project is developing a flexible and wearable solution so that even children with extreme limitations in physical mobilities can use it to communicate “yes” and “no”.
SAVH – Low-cost Talking Labels & Sticky Notes for the Visually Impaired
Learning braille is akin to learning a new language and a new way to read. Therefore, many elderly who become visually impaired in later years find it difficult to learn and a braille label thus would not be practical. As such, this project aims to create recordable and reusable audio labels using low-cost and simple technology which users can use to record custom voice messages onto the label and stick it on whatever they want, and use some mechanism to trigger the playback of this voice message at will.
Rainbow Centre – Geofencing
Rainbow Centre is a SPED institution that specially caters for the education of children with disabilities. As such, it is important to expose the children to a myriad of daily tasks, while keeping close monitoring on them to protect them from any forms of environmental dangers and hazards. Hence this project aims to develop an Indoor Positioning System (IPS) to track locations of registered devices within school premises and develop an app that reports the location of each device and has notification functionalities in response to various events.
