Design and technical assistance at TOM SP 2014

TOM is a design hackathon created in Israel with the main objective of designing, developing, prototyping products for people with disabilities in a 48 hours challenge.

TOM SP is the first event abroad in Brazil supported by State Government of São Paulo. During 28-30 of November, six times with different challenges created or optimized 14 projects.

I was part of team 4 in which we designed and developed a toy for visual disabled kids.
The project consisted of a chess board decorated with TOMSP´s geometric figures (Circle, square, triangle) in which each figure has a specific sound and texture.
This toy was developed to:
-visual disabled kids - the geometric figures with textures are displayed as cards in which the children has to find the correspondent shape at the board.
A second exercise is that each figure has a specific sound, the computer would play a sequence of sounds, that the children have to repeat by touching at the right figures.

How each figure generated sound? The sound was generated by a conductive paint connected added to the surface of each figure (black lines - spots), under each figure you have a metalic filament connected to a raspberry board.
Ready to test. The initial idea was to use a rug. However, due to the short time (48 hours Design Hackathon) and the absence of a rug, we decided to start with a small sample.
Ready, actual size. Physical prototype done at the Design Hackathon.
