Velosynth
Velosynth is an open-source bicycle interaction computer. It uses a variety of sensors to detect the Motion of a bicycle and then interprets this data into Audio and Visual communication. This feedback loop helps to increase awareness of the cyclist within the transportation environment — much to the same way one can both hear and see a vehicle approaching.
Interfaces
Velosynth communicates through a variety of Interfaces:
Audio — Sound generated from a synthesizer (output)
Visual — Diffused light from an LED (output)
Motion —Speed and acceleration (input)
Tactile — Physical switches and knobs (input)
Subsystems
Velosynth is composed of a number of complimentary subsytems:
Enclosure — the physical enclosure that holds the hardware components in place and attaches to the bicycle frame.
Hardware — the physical components (circuitry, sensors, electronics).
