Project Summary | Project Information |
---|---|
Rock climbing walls are a recreational means of
climbing. With large groups or individuals with
attention disorders, however, the wall does nothing
to guide the climber or prompt one path over another,
nor can it provide feedback to a
supervisor/instructor. Subsequently, close one-on-one
supervision between the instructor and climber is
often required, which limits the number of
individuals able to take part in the activity at any
one time while also detracting from the quality of
interaction between climbers.
The goal of this project is to remedy these shortcomings by providing a means of wireless communication between the wall, each climber, and the supervisor. This means will be adjustable by the user based on the climber, and will ideally track the progress of the climber. The final result will be a wall update kit adjustable for different walls, accompanied by the software required to interface with it. The physical component will meet all current safety requirements for rock walls, while the complementing software will be supported on all current platforms (phones, tablets, computers), in addition to being intuitive and easy to use. Also, the project will be useful to nonprofit organizations by being inexpensive and easy to set up. For an updated project description, click on the following link. |
