by This semester I’ve been lucky enough to be an RA at the MIT Media Lab Fluid Interface group. After finishing the semester I decided to take a few days to build a pair of smart goggles. I was able to create a pair that could tell you the current time, your splits, your stroke rate and the amount of laps you’ve done all in real-time. Furthermore, the total materials I used cost less than 30$ (excluding a smartphone)!
Below is the display that the swimmer sees. I used the accelerator of the phone to detect each stroke to calculate the stroke rate and each push-off to calculate the laps.
What’s next? I would love to tell you but I shouldn’t for reasons explained in my previous post!
