TEAM D7: Rid3

Rid3 makes navigating while riding a bicycle or scooter easier for people. Most riders often have to ride with one hand while looking at their phone or smart watch in order to navigate their surroundings when they are riding. These methods can be dangerous and many smart watches are quite costly. Currently,  audio guided GPS systems exist that can help with navigation but there is lack of support for avoiding obstacles that may appear in a riders’ blindspot. We believe a device like Rid3 which provides haptic feedback through vibrations coupled with audio feedback will be beneficial for providing a safer riding experience for micro mobility owners. Rid3 guides users where to go based on audio and haptic feedback and detects when obstacles are in the user’s blindspots. Vibrations tell users when they’re going the wrong direction and when objects are in their blindspots. So come along and join us for the Rid3!
