Inspiration - To help the blind.

What it does - It uses sunglasses to with an ultrasonic sensor and a buzzer to beep based on how close you are to an object in front of you.

How I built it - An Arduino Nano, ultrasonic sensor, and a Piezo buzzer were used to measure distance and create audible beeps, and then that was duct taped to a pair of Microsoft sunglasses.

Challenges I ran into - Changing the interval of beeps based on distance.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of - Being able to change the interval of beeps based on distance.

What I learned - How to use if else statements.

What's next for Blind Spot - So far, no plans.
