3D Printed Animotus

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Yale engineer Adam Spiers has created a new device through 3D printing which should prove to be of great value for the visually impaired. The small handheld cube, featured in a production of Flatland recently in London, is able to guide individuals through a specific area by twisting in the direction the user needs to go. The 3D files have not been released yet, but Spiers hopes to make the 3D printed Animotus an open source design in the future.
