Safety Sensor Sleeve

This safety sensor sleeve is part of the fusion design challenge. This product has many applications, but one of which is safety. The way this sleeve works is by having input optic cables that runs through the lattice tunnels and output cables that come out in the middle. By using light you are able to detect how much bending is occurring in the arm and even 3D model the arm for many applications using machine learning and neural networks. When you bend your arm parts of your arm push more against the sleeve causing more light to be received from one cable to another through a process called frustrated total internal reflection which occurs when the cables are closer to parallel to one another.

Now that I have explained how this design works on a basic level I will go into how it applies to a wearable safety device. A person can choose to program a specific arm movement pattern into a signal that will connect with Bluetooth to your phone. Then your phone will call the police and sen
