I worked with five classmates to design an innovative toy, Wobblit, a balance board with light up sections that indicate the direction to lean. The final product consisted of LED lights, light diffusing sheets, a fitness ball, and ABS plastic cover. Gyroscopes and tilt sensors were used to measure tilt angles, and an Arduino to process and output data. My task included giving the product its finished look; creating a light diffusing solutions for LEDs, designing and mounting an exterior cover, and developing the logo.

First looks-like prototype
First works-like prototype
Internal component of board, including microprocessor, gyroscopes, and LEDs
RGB LEDs were used to program the colors in each of the four sectors and along the outer ring
Diffusing sheets to distribute the light and reduce LED hotspots
A rubber bumper was added around the edge for safety and aesthetics
Vinyl sticker was mounted on the top of the board to cover the internal electronics and give the product a finished look
Iterating logo designs
Final logo for Wobblit
The board lit up in a rainbow colors when the game was won
