We chose to make this project because...

We wanted to develop an object that visually and automatically warned of the distance between the person carrying it and any object or person in its path.

What we found difficult and how we worked it out

The hardest part was finding the best way to visualize the distance; we tested with the built-in leds and with an OLED screen, before deciding to integrate a matrix with 3 leds of 7 segments

Next time, we would...

maybe we would improve the box that we have designed in 3d so that it incorporates some element to hold it to the waist or to the hand
