What we came up with

We came up with a set of wings that you can wear as a backpack. A servo motor would pull strings when a button is pressed. This would be able to avoid traffic congestion and make transportation easier and entertaining.

Problem

Solution

During our project, we faced many problems. One of our biggest problem was that we could not make the wing as realistic as we wanted it to be. It was hard to make the wing realistic because birds have wings on their arms. Also, our mechanism was too heavy to function as we wanted to.

To solve that problem, we tried to get rid of the extra parts and make it as light as possible. We are also considering folding the wings into the backpack for the final replica to make it more accessible.

Precedents (Technical)

Our technical precedent is the pulley. When you pull something, the other lifts up. We used this by attaching a string on a hinge that has a wing attached to it. By pulling and releasing the strings, the wing makes a flapping motion

Precedents(conseptual)

This is our precedent. It is a backpack that has wings attached to it. You can fold it.

Precedent (technical)

Our third precedent is the bird wing. We didn't want to make it angel wings because we wanted to make it realistic as possible

Advice from teachers after mid review

1. Use electronics to improve the motion of the wings

2. Tell what kind of problems our project solves in slides

3. Fold the wing in the backpack

What we applied

• String path and tension
• stronger hinges
• wearbility
• Electronic
• Tell what problem our project solves
• Wing movement range

→

• added eyelets

• strengthened it with tape
• used fabric for the straps
• we added servo motor
• added slide for it



• Found the best angle for servo motor

Electronic

If we had more time

• We could add stronger hinges
• Make two wings flap
• Make the wings up right
• Test the servo motor over and over again until it becomes the perfect angle
• get a good place for the button

Evocative Image

We wanted to make a way to enable humans to enhighten their eyes by adding special abilities. We also wanted to do this without wearing goggles and be able to do it just using our minds.

Our Feedback From Mid Review

• Add a home screen like the Apple Vision Pro.
• Use the idea of Whilet's Earp (Arm) which lets you think about the arm moving and it moves as inspiration.
• Consider hiding the implant.
• Maybe also make it work with goggles.

What we incorporated into our design

• Use the idea of Whilet's Earp (Arm) which lets you think about the arm moving and it moves as inspiration.
• Consider hiding the implant.

We are going to have a OLED Screen to show a display for each eye mode when you push a button.

We used Chat GPT and based on what it told us we decided to use an Arduino.

First Arduino with buttons and a breadboard.

Our ChatGPT Generated Arduino Code

After an entirety of two classes we made it work!

We then made vinyl cut labels

The working prototype in action with the vinyl labels

Our next steps were to have the OLED screen display images instead of text. However, we ran out of time. If we had more time that is what we would work on.

Thank You!
