I got nerd sniped by a great comment in a previous video. The idea was to make some kind of device to let blind people perceive their surroundings. The specific suggestion was to make some kind of a vest. Ultimately I ended up making an iPad case that uses the sensors in the iPad to perceive the surroundings and communicates through tactile feedback via a special hand grip. It was a fun project and turned out pretty neat.

What if you built glasses with the technology that went into gloves that would tell the hands what to do, and instead of pines you could use vibrations or harmless electric shock in the palm.

Father to a blind son 6yrs old, turned blind 1,5yrs ago. He “watches” (listens) to his iPad regularly. Have been following your channel but this one I had missed, came up as a recommendation.
People like you (and your supporting wife) gives me and my family hope that with tech everything is possible! And to all of you saying that a cane still is better, no, not to a kid that also wants cool tech!
Thank you!
The "cool tech" is still objectively worse though and puts the user in danger. Laser and sonic canes like this have been around since the 80's but they quit making them because there was no way to make it safe enough for independent travel so the user would need someone with them for safety. I've used one before and it was impossible to detect the end of ramps or driveway seams because the laser and the tactile rotor simply can't convey that minute level of detail that a white cane gives through tactile and auditory information. Not to mention that you have to be intently focused on the cane at all times since it can't stop you from running into things so you have to focus and rely on your reflexes whereas with the white cane you can comfortably walk like any sighty if your trained.
It's just not safe, especially for a child, that's why nobody uses them.
@@Casper-Ghost I understand where you are coming from, though I think that just because something couldn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it can’t work now. The technology has improved a lot. Especially if it’s designed with input from the people who will actually be using it, unlike the device in this video, which is more of a proof of concept. For example, the way I would change this device based on what you said is to make it a glove for your non-dominant hand (other options are a vest, bracelet, or even a phone case, as is suggested in the video) so that it could be used in conjunction with a cane. The idea being that you get the best of both worlds, the device can give you some idea of what is up ahead and you could use the cane to maneuver through it more precisely. The real question about the value of the device in my opinion is cost, especially if it has to have its own LIDAR. The cost will come down eventually but there may be other options by the time it does.

Hey, as an engineering student, your workshop and ideas are really cool to me! I think it’d be nice if you had a video walking through your shop/tools, explaining what they’re for and how you went about building such an impressive shop! And, it could be a nice low-effort bit of content in-between more difficult projects. Just an idea!
Yeah! This is super inspiring to see someone invest in their own workshop and start using it for such interesting projects. I would actually be really curious to know what each bit of kit does, and why it's in his workshop!
I concur!
As a high school student in my last year, preparing to apply for engineering in uni, it would be cool to learn about these tools!!
Yeah I'd be really interested in how he came to own each bit of kit, like what the justification was for buying it at the time. Part of owning all this stuff is being able to either make money from it or justify it for your hobby and I don't see how you can own a multi axis CNC without a really good reason. Everyone wants one but even if I had $15000 I don't think I could convince myself

You should combine the tactile feedback into a walking stick. This idea is good for big objects but people can easily trip over curbs or small objects and bumps on the road. Blind people will still want a walking stick to sweep, it'd be good if they had a further "sight" to improve distance.

Dude, I sponsored several engineering student teams to do something similar to this 10 years ago. I stuck with an array of tactors (pancake motors) spaced 2-point-discrmination distance apart, and gave each tactor 3 bits of "depth" using PWM and current control. Note that a typical vibrotactile response scopes to only 8 JNDs (Just Notable Difference) so 3 bit depth just about covers what we can hapticly perceive. My initial designs were like yours, which morphed into a different form factor. According to my physiology research, I figured I could get a 64 tactor array. Not much but my form factor theoretically pushed the performance of that significantly. Sadly, this is one of my main back-burner projects that has not yet completed to a decent prototype stage. Sigh.

I'd love to see you keep working on this and seeing how far and advanced you can take this, because this can be absolutely groundbreaking for the blind community.
This really isn't groundbreaking at all and is about 8 years behind Google's own project. The reason the tech has never taken off in the blindness community is because simply using a long white cane properly is far safer and more efficient without any battery usage or other tech dependency issues. Something like this would never be useful for chaotic environments like malls, airports, or festivals and would still require considerable training with a cane as well.
@@Casper-Ghost Just me again. I'm assuming you invented the cane at this point
@@Casper-Ghost You know that a cane is tech? tech is not synonimous with "computerized thing". Language is tech, agriculture is tech, a hat is tech, and this is also tech.
There is no difference between being dependen on one tech or another, and this tech could perfectly be integrated in a regular cane and bum you have both tech so if one fails you have a backup and are less dependent on one tech in specific.

This man is so intelligent and I feel like he’s one day gonna make a huge change in the world and I love it so much thank you for focusing on the future man. This gives me hope.
So the tactile angle looks really interesting but, as you say, there's a learning curve to process that information for spatial navigation. Would it perhaps make sense to use sound as the output instead? Could use lidar to build a model of depth information and then convert that into a virtual sound stage, with each object producing a hum/tone/ broadband hiss as in the new vehicle reversing warning devices. Varying the difference in timing and amplitude between those sounds would give position and proximity data in an intuitive way. There would clearly be challenges- if a blind person is primarily relying on hearing for staying safe, the additional cues would have to be unobtrusive. Hopefully it could get to the point where the world just contains fewer silent obstacles. Could also, eventually, perhaps integrate machine vision to recognise objects and give them a characteristic sound- roadways, people, trees, changes in slope of the ground etc.? Next gen smart glasses could well have lidar, so the whole operation could be software if also used headphones with an awareness mode. Would have the advantage of leaving hands free for a cane/ carrying items- I'd be worried about someone tripping and being unable to break their fall with the ipad... But a truly fantastic job putting your device together: a commendable idea and very impressive execution
The problem with this is if it’s panning the left and right, it would hum the same amount backwards and forewords.
This is the first person I’ve seen in a while who consistently makes interesting and maybe even useful things on RUclips
Any other similar channels you would like to suggest?
Rexus King his current style of videos are highly inspired by “Mark Rober” Although he kind of makes even mark look like an amateur. This dudes early videos where straight up “This old Tony” knockoffs, so if you liked their style, go check him out too.
He seems to be kind of developing into a hybrid of these 2 channels, primarily. If you watch those 2 channels you’ll see very quickly his influences.
He also is vaguely similar to “Micheal Reeves” and “William Osman”. Although he’s far more competent and serious than them.
@@WrexShepard I already subbed to all four of the channels you mentioned! They all have different styles and tones. I think what Mark's doing that stands out from the rest, is his content can be more easily digested by children. (I think, not a child anymore)
Eric Barnett yeah all 4 of those are great. I really liked Tested led by Adam Savage which is pretty cool.

I'd buy this to use when going to the bathroom at night. Wouldn't need to open my eyes xd
If you live in one place, and you keep the place uncluttered, you can learn the route to your bathroom by heart, blind people don't use anything to navigate their own homes
Unfortunately it's not accurate enough to detect that lego on the floor.

"So I've been thinking a lot about guided missiles"
*quickly checks to make sure I am subscribed and have the bell on*
Holy hell this guy is brilliant!
Guided missiles are actually trivial (relatively) at present with off the shelf RC parts and hobby rocket motors. The problem is there is strongly enforced federal legislation against putting any sort of guidance on a rocket in the US.
this video single handedly makes me want to get an engineering degree
You don't need a degree to do this. You just have to work hard
@@parmstrong
Easiest way would be to actually just get an engineering degree
@@Range2212 From a mechanical engineer, this is more computer science than engineering
@@nateglen9358 Mechanical engineer here as well. I'd say this would comfortably fall within what a mechanical engineer learns at uni.
@@Range2212 I'm saying as a person without the "proper" education to do this: It is more of a challenge to do the computer science part than it would be to have the mechanical aptitude to do this. Based off of what the mechanical mechanism had to do no hardcore structural analysis had to be done. However writing your own app and coding everything to work correctly was a huge part.
hey I know this is an old video, but somebody showed me your basketball hoop video and this one caught my attention. I'm totally blind myself and figure out ways to play video games mostly. thanks for this video and this technology sounds really cool. I wish I could try it to give some true hands on experience with it. it would also be cool to adapt this system to tell high contrast on a screen/television so a kind of picture can be created through high contrast in real time. thanks again for the awesome content
When he invents a life changing app for millions of people
Life changing? The concept can go far... but this version is arguable worse than a stick, which blind people have been using for hundreds of years. Its still an interesting video and impressive work.
@@PopsGG there's pros and cons with both. For example, you can't "see" a whole room at once with a stick or automatically know how far away a wall is unless you are standing in front of it
@Anonymous I literally did show appreciation. Please read my comment again.
With refining it could definitely he better than the canes used by blind people currently, you could easily integrate gps navigation.

why use multiple wedges when you could smoothly unify them in a screw type of inclined plane?
would be real smooth for changes in depth
but i guess it depends whether the human fingers can sense those changes if they gradual and not noticeably abrupt
This man should be a billionaire with the amount of things he can do for humanity.
Yes he needs to be a billionaire so he can invent more things:)
Billionaires don’t actually do things for humanity. They such the life out of it.

@@jefffoo6891 He meant suck the life. It's mostly true though, to be a billionaire one must not care about others and value personal wealth over everything
Spoiler alert, his wife is actually the evil genius behind this channel. She’s an MIT unified engineering professor and he works for H&R Block. This has all been an incredibly clever ruse.
Really?

Is this a joke or are you actually blind? the latter is impressive to see you're able to go around the internet with what seems to be relative profficienty
Nice
@@shirothefish9688 Don't know answer to that, but about going trough internet: have u heard about Voice Feedback and Text to Speech - programmes? I think nowadays every smartphone and computer has these, so using internet is not a problem.
I mean... i've heard of em but they seem like they'd be... clunky/slow to use.

This doesn't solve blindness. This is nowhere near as safe or efficient as using a simple cane.

DUDE! This has to be one of the best channels on youtube ALREADY! Editing is on point, the projects are interesting and unique, you're a great teacher and it all adds up to create a fantastic viewing experience. Thanks for putting so much work into your videos!
You got my like right after:
"Let's think about it."
Queue camera pan to "Your Order Has Shipped".
There have been quite a few projects done with environment sensing concepts. Translating it is always the hard part :)
You're thinking mechanical. Electrical stimulus however would give you a lot finer control. You could potentially build low power impuls sending device into a glove and send impulses to finger tips, in brail.
You could also translate intended directional commands/information into audio instructions. With a small hearing device/earphone that would potentially be easier.
Anyway, cool idea. Good luck with it :)

It's not complete darkness if you're using a LASER. :P
You're an inspiration to engineers around the world! I would love to watch an autobiographical video or even just a short segment in your next video. Please make this happen.

Hey, we use metric here in Australia too, and literally almost everywhere else that isn't America
It's a pretty common American engineering trope, a lot of STEM people in the US use metric, except for the old heads that were raised using US Standard. We like making fun of the US too
once you go metric you never go back :D

maybe you coulda used some headphones with surround sound to make a directional sound based on distance of an object
But that noise information can collide with actual noise from environment
I am blind myself, and I think that’s a very neat idea. While I agree with the other comment here that it could interfere with the noise in your environment, if something known as binaural audio were utilized it could actually probably be very effective. If you are unaware, binaural audio is audio recorded with microphones set up in a configuration to mimic The locations of the human ears on either side of the head. With this microphone configuration, the sounds recorded, when played back through headphones, sound like they are actually in your environment. I find it interesting to think about perhaps applying that concept to an ideal like this.
Joe Caroselli wtf
@@joecaroselli9945 how you read this when you blind ?
Dani Dan by utilizing a piece of software that’s called a screen reader, it does just that, read the items on the screen. In this particular instance, I am using my smartphone which allows me to interact with the device by tapping something once to select it and twice to activate it at the simplest form of its interactions. Screen reading software is built into just about every smart phone and computer, although on windows and other desktop computers an additional piece of third-party software is better for a more productive experience
Thank you for considering a project like this! I will say that for me personally I think for something like this to be useful it would need to have several rounds of use and commentary by both visually impaired and blind people. What a sighted person (or even a sighted person wearing a blindfold) thinks will be the most helpful information is often not the same as what a visually impaired or blind person will think is the most useful. None of this is to criticize your idea or execution, this is truly amazing, rather I just want to educate people on the reality of building and designing things for disabled people when you’re not someone in that group. Keep up the great work!
What career or degree you have to know all this things??? Im really interested.
Edit: I saw from his website that he worked in Formlabs at some point.
But I'm really curious about how he progressively acquires more knowledge day by day. Books? Academys? Courses? Or simply observation try/error? It's truly inspirational for me.
Maybe a video about it!!! :D
Mechanical Engineering is what most of his projects fall under. Of course, as with all engineering, there are several subsets working together at any given moment, so it requires knowledge of not only mechanical & electrical systems, but also programming and software development.
Lets get one thing clear, his degrees don't really matter because his abilities are well beyond the typical degree holder in any engineering discipline. The self learner types that usually drop out of college to start their own venture. Degrees are worth little if one doesn't have intense curiosity and willingness to take on challenges. And for those who have those two qualities, degrees aren't needed anyway.
He has said in a previous video that he studied (and completed) both mechatronics and computer science.
@@carazy123_ I think more of what he does is computer engineering, directly interfacing with microcontrollers and using UART (Bluetooth) is outside of scope for a mechanical engineering degree. IMHO to do what he is doing computer engineering courses would provide more useful info than mechanical engineering courses, but they are still both very valuable. You can still learn this yourself online, all of the resources are out there, but I found the computer engineering courses I took got me to a deeper level of understanding that would have taken me a while if I were to have learned it on my own
Casey Sanders that’s what my second sentence was for. Really his projects are mechatronics projects, which does require a lot more than just standard Mech.E. But this is the most software-based project I’ve seen him work on.
