BR – Un bracciale per controllare il mondo

Faire: Rome

Maker: Agnello Pepe

IL BR is a simple wearable device that allows you to control your PC and beyond by simply moving a hand. The device recognizes the acceleration produced by movement and compares it with user-selected and fully customizable "trigger" values, so as to simulate pressing a key on the keyboard, to control various aspects of your PC, to scroll through a presentation smoothly and much more. Thanks to the Internet connection, the BR can connect to very distant devices (such as drones, radio-controlled cars and much more) and control them remotely thanks to the acceleration produced by the user. The presence of a rechargeable battery allows uninterrupted use for over 4 hours. The case like the strap are totally 3D printed so as to be light and suitable for any user. The BR is supported by a PC interface that allows you to fully customize any aspect of the device. Like “trigger” accelerations, simulated keystrokes and much more. Furthermore, once the interface is closed after connecting the device, the BR will continue to work in the background allowing for simple and fluid use.

Bodynodes

Faire: Rome

Maker: Manuel Bottini

Bodynodes is a motion capture project made by a hobbyist for other hobbyists. Sensors can be worn and track the movement of the body. Then, the information can be used for different types of applications. The most typical application is to control a character in a virtual reality game. Bodynodes makes the game more immersive than other systems because the sensors are worn and the player interacts directly with the new world. With the use of a VR headset or a VR cardboard, the player gets a fully immersive experience in the game. The tracking information can also be used to create animations for videos or new games. Instead of going through days of animations, the animator can just track their own body and then work on the data collected using the Bodynodes sensors. In the future, we will explore controlling drones and robots, transitioning from the virtual world to controlling the real world!

InvenTABLE: a kid-safe power tool for cutting cardboard!

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Team InvenTABLE

Home: Pennsylvania, United States

InvenTABLE is a kid-safe power tool that teaches valuable STEM skills by giving kids ages 8-12 the ability to cut through cardboard and build 3D models with ease. My co-founder Max and I have been working on this product for over a year, and actually first brought it to kids at the Philadelphia Maker Faire and Sussex County Maker Faire in October 2022! Since then, we've used feedback from hundreds of kids, parents, and educators to iterate on and improve our product. We will be launching InvenTABLE at the end of September through Kickstarter, and our Kickstarter will be running throughout the month of October. Come to our table to try the power tool out for yourselves and make some fun projects out of cardboard!

Our intention is to give artistic value to an object limited to energy exploitation, using wind turbines that do not damage the aesthetics of the urban space but rather enrich it, making them true functional works of art.

PlasticDrawn

C-Eyes

Faire: Rome

Maker: IT Archimede

C-Eyes is an innovative assistive technology designed to empower visually impaired individuals. Through the use of artificial intelligence and computer vision, C-Eyes captures real-time images and converts them into detailed audio descriptions, essentially enabling users to 'see' through hearing. Our device comes in two models. The 'Pro' model integrates a personal AI assistant powered by OpenAI GPT-4, providing advanced functionality and interactive voice recognition. The 'Lite' model, an economical and lightweight alternative, focuses on core functions of scene recognition and audio synthesis. Both models serve our mission to enhance independence, safety, and quality of life for visually impaired individuals.

Brailly

Faire: Rome

Maker: Katerina Koleva

We introduce Brailly, an interactive cube made for visually impaired people of every age, who would like to learn Braille in a fun way. Brailly is a 3D printed cube that consists of a speaker with an audio guide for learning simple words and letters in Braille. Learning Braille happens through a set of individual or collaborative exercises. Users can learn how to “write” in Braille by clicking on buttons, which imitate the Braille alphabet. Learning how to “read” the letters happens through haptic dowels. Our first prototype consists of 3D-printed inside parts made from PLA and an outside shell made from TPU95 material which makes the cube safe for kids. Other important components are six buttons allowing for Braille input and six servo motors which are responsible for the Braille output. During Makers faire we would also like to present our new prototype which has significant improvements such as different motors, smaller size, better sound and quality.
