Brief:

Light in vibration.

Communication has long been segregated from other human capabilities, with which we can thrive in various forms of human communities. Communication isn’t perfect, however, for subjectivity overrules the original intentions, rendering inexorable feelings of doubt, contempt, or hatred among people. I decided to create an experience in the hope of transcending physical differences and sensory (energy) boundaries. I worked on projects for blind people last semester, learnt that some optic malfunctions prevent people from sensing light and color in any form except abysmal gray. In the hope of helping people perceive outdoor light and depict how they bask in light as they move through space and time, I decide to transform light into a spectrum of vibrations scattered over their bodies—(a) low-maintenance-circuits-made wearable device(s) powered by light and intrinsically reacting to its intensity.

Measurement:

Solar panels in different sizes generate similar voltage under similar circumstances.

Testing:

I received parts last week and immediately put them into use. 60mA panel is larger than I expected, which requires little sunlight to perform the buzzer.
