- Andrew O'Sullivan(TA)
Motivation
To innovate the field of personal electronics protection with a cheap and reliable alternative to expensive phone/tablet/laptop cases.
Objective
To create a case / device that upon being dropped will deploy an airbag / parachute to help protect your valuable electronics.
Obstacles
- Safety
- Premature detonation of our airbag system (Literally blowing your pants off).
- Cost
- Airbags are expensive and typically designed to only be used once.
- Powering / Triggering
- We plan to run an Arduino off of it, which means we need some sort of external power supply. We also need power to help the device to trigger.
- Size
- Creating a case or device small enough to maintain the shape and convenience of your device without compromising safety.
- Case
- Designing, fitting, and printing or building a case to fit specific electronics so we can maximize protection.
- Building an airbag which will deploy in such a way as to maximize protection but still deploy in time with no snags.
