Concept

With so many alleyways in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, it is hard to know what is lurking behind each corner.  Sp-EYE, a detector made with Ultrasonic Distance Sensors allows you to peek around sharp corners alerting you to danger. The sensor works as an extension of your eyes to “see” around objects.

The Input methods: the Joystick and the Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, relate information to the Output methods: the Servo Motor and the LED Pin respectively, creating the device.

Next Steps

A limitation of the Sp-EYE is within the Ultrasonic Distance Sensor. This sensor only captures the distance between an object and the Sp-EYE, allowing for inaccurate readings of objects as well as a limited field of range. With more powerful motion detectors replacing the Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, more accurate readings of people around corners will be able to be conducted.
