BLV Sports Audio & Tactile System
-
MustardTek Intern
Summer Intern 2025 (Freshman)
Inclusive sports prototypes developing sound-emitting wearables and tactile mini “game boards” to help blind and low-vision athletes navigate basketball, floor curling, bowling, and baseball. Work included designing and assembling speaker modules, 3D-printed outer cases, and magnetic tactile maps, and leading the handoff by setting up clear assembly and 3D-printing standards so the team could keep building after my internship.
Designed for blind and low-vision players and their sighted teammates to improve spatial awareness of balls, stones, and game states through clear audio cues and touch.
