Project Introduction Description/Interpretation
Create an exhaustible product which could be made today which contain LEDS.
For this particular assignment we must also work in pairs to come to the end product. For this project Joyce K and I (William F) will be working to create a biking glove to help improve the safety of bikers and which my be applicable for camping as well.
Personal Goals • Think about improving bikers visibility at night • Research new sustainable recourses • Have the object be multifunctional

Research Materials/Environment
For this project Joyce and I continually observed the lack of really innovative biking
equipment. If we did happen to find something spectacular it was often offered an extravagant costs to the consumer. The key areas which we felt that there is a particular lack of innovation in was the biking gove. We wanted to focus on making a lasting product which can be warn and lit daily with minimal environmental wear. Thankfully LEDs are the proper lighting implement for such a task.

Orginally we looked at creating a glove for biking and that is the way we designed the
glove. However after taking a look at some of the starting goals and thinking about how we could create a product with multiple facets we had discovered that the addition of the side light located over the left hand portion of the glove could be helpful in manny other activities, such as in camping.

Glove Research After visiting manny local bike shops we found there’s not an incredibly large variation from the basic glove concept. The primary thing changes between spring and winter is that some gloves continue to have fingers where’s others purely covered back and front of the hand. As for the materials used in the construction of the gloves very greatly depending on the brand to select. The same brands are found at manny locations with a few exceptions to super expensive brands which are actually hard to find.

Concepts and Development First Thoughts At the start we had looked at creating a reading nook for kids, key finding system, children's desk, and a large tree book shelf geared towards encouraging kids to read through an engaging environment which could pack flat and react to weather via it leaves. Yet we settled on a biking glove which would act as a mini flashlight and a turning signal for biking at night. By creating a light to replace the traditional hand signals for turning we hope to increase visual communication between the driver and the biker as well as increase the safety/protection of the bikers wrist incase of impact on accidents.

Schematics Form and Ideation After much thought and reflection on what to name such a simplistic, yet innovative concept, we decided to name the biking club, the Mudra. The inspiration for this name came to us after an explanation from the class TA Heather, who described the glove as completing the Mudra between the biker and driver. In other words, we really fell in love with the name once we heard this and recognized that the completion of the physical circuit on the glove, which activates the light, also is an effect in a greater sense with a completion of visual communication energy between the biker and the driver. • Embed arrow in each hand for turn signal • Keep it light, possibly through the use of a Arduino • Looks at activating the light threw the completion of a circuit from the touching of your index finger and your thumb. • Incorporate cushioning for your wrist to allow for impact resistance.

Design Development
Color Studies Unfortunately most of the current biking gloves on the market are all black and gray. At first glance this appeared to be odd and limiting to prevent the consumers individuality. However, there is a slight method to this madness, which I only personally found out by becoming a consistent biker. The problem with overly light colored gloves is that they get dirty quickly when adjusting, moving, and lifting your bike. So for the creation of the Mudra, we did not make the focus exploring additional colors and fabrics which are dirt resistant. One thing that I think is valuable to note, is that our instructor Jay Baldwin noted that there have been advancements in creating self cleaning paint based off the biological structure of a lilly. This might be something to consider in the future. Concept and Development / Concept Sketches / Table 08 1 2 3
Model Making Plans and Process At the start of the project, we were both fairly excited about making a fully working set of biking gloves. however, after dissection of an old pair of gloves to use as a model for making our gloves, we discovered the complexity and lack of proficient sewing knowledge would be a deterrent to the product and decided to shift its focus. This let us to taking a concept which could be achieved with a series of compasitiors, blinking leds, and resistors to adding the complexity of the lilly pad Arduino to control the LED’s through this micro controller. This shifted our plans further to create one working glove which

demonstrates the functionality of the product. To achieve this, we used the disassembled biking gloves in combination with the Arduino to make the Mudra.

Final Product Product Description What is the Mudra? The Mudra is predominately a biking glove although it has been shown to have alternate uses because of the secondary built in flashlight.which contains further functionality beyond biking. The products focus is to alert drivers via turn signals that are built into the gloves surface to indicate the direction the biker is turning. The lighting elements are activated by the touching of either the index or middle finger onto ones thumb, which activate different LED lights on the Mudra.

Evaluation of Process Conclusion Mudra presented design challenges during its creation. First of which, the group expectation of work completion in that we both anticipated the creation of a glove to slightly easier than it turned out to be. The introduction of new elements, such as learning how to program a lilly pad, was not an anticipated time restraint although in the end, all played out smoothly. An initial struggle was properly calculating how to use our best strengths to the groups advantage, however, the end product does convey the initial ideas and concepts which we hoped to. Although I do feel it is lacking a level of detail in its end construction which would make it a polished product.
