What
- Engineered a wearable protective chest plate for motorcyclists with integrated light channels for visibility and safety.
- Developed a multi-material assembly of a rigid contoured shell and translucent diffusers that house addressable LED strips.
How
- Built in internal wire routing paths and recessed cavities so the electronics sit flush and do not restrict movement.
- Designed a lightweight, segmented chassis with adjustable buckle points to fit securely over standard riding gear.
Results
- Delivered a functional safety accessory that makes the rider more visible in low light through high-contrast active lighting.
- Produced a design that supports modular electronics and durable assembly, as shown in the printed and lit prototype.
