Student team design sensory augmentation to improve mobility for visually impaired.

On the first weekend of February the Imperial Design Engineering Society organised its first Makeathon, hosted at the recently opened Invention Rooms and Advanced Hackspace at Imperial’s new White City campus.  

Following the announcement of a £2bn commitment by Dyson to build a radical and different electric car, participants were challenged to imagine the Future of Mobility over 2 days. The event brought together a diverse set of students from across the Dyson School of Design Engineering and Imperial College in 12 teams giving an exciting weekend of ideas, hands-on making and prototyping.
