Shadow

I creating Safety Vision Glasses equipped with millimeter-wave radar and LED lights, improving safety in low-light environments, particularly during nightlife.

Experiment

“I want to explore how dim lighting and nighttime operation in bars influence people’s behavior. Does the subdued lighting in bars alter people’s behavior?”

Conclusion

I have reached out to over 1,300 individuals and conducted three sets of experiments, comprising a total of 13 trials, to gather real and reliable data based on people’s psychology, emotions, physical safety, and reactions in hazardous situations.

In a shadowy setting, individuals tend to be more at ease, more open to self-expression, and exhibit an increased inclination for both physical and verbal expression.

In the experiment, the shadowy environment both heightened people’s criminal inclinations and diminished their defensive awareness.

Design Goal

Danger Detection: Millimeter-wave radar in glasses to spot potential crimes in dark places.
Safety Illumination: Glasses’ LED lights activate to brighten surroundings when danger is detected.
Social Setting Security: Enhanced safety feature in glasses to prevent risks in social venues.

Solution

I’ve created glasses equipped with millimeter-wave radar that detect dangerous behaviors in dark settings, like bars.

 

If these glasses detect any threat, built-in LED lights illuminate the user’s surroundings, enhancing safety in potentially hazardous situations.

User Test

 7.8 Lux light bar collection.

2.5 Lux dark bar

Observe dangerous action recordings in bars with different lighting

I conducted an experiment where the same group of people wore glasses in two differently lit bars. I attempted to take their belongings or touch their waists to test the glasses’ effectiveness.
