Intelligent Blinker Bracelet Blinks to Signal a Turn

Aug-16-14 Designed with urban bikers in mind, the wrist-worn Intelligent Blinker will automatically flash when the wearer raises their arm to signal a turn.

The bracelet, developed by a team of EPFL design students, is equipped with an accelerometer and magnetometer able to detect the changes in the bracelet's orientation and trigger the array of LEDs. The LEDs can be set to illuminate depending upon the angle of the user's arm, and the device can be charged by USB or via its built-in solar panel.

Currently, the circuit board controlling the Intelligent Blinker is too large to be worn comfortably, but the team is working to reduce the size of the necessary components as well as the device's energy consumption.
