Safety Glasses

P-COMP: Pulse Sensor. 12/16/11
The concept of the Safety Glasses project is inspired by the Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. These glasses turned completely black at the sight of any danger, to give a relaxed attitude when presented with an alarming situation. I made a pair of glasses that cover your eyes when you are scared or nervous. These would be specially useful at the movie theater, where some graphic scenes are excruciating enough for covering your eyes. The glasses would have the pulse sensor on an earring clipped to one of the lobes. When the sensor detects an exaltation in pulse servos on both sides of the glasses will close the curtains covering both eyes. The arduino board and two demo buttons are housed in a small plastic box that fits in your pocket. Collaboration with Shawn Lauriat
