CU Engineering Class Adaptive Equipment Projects Spring 2012 -- Vibe Chair

A group of University of Colorado Engineering students in a 2012 Spring Semester class taught by Associate Professor Melinda Piket-May worked on projects to design adaptive technologies to aid increased independence for some of the individuals Imagine! serves. The video below shows one of those projects, a "Vibe Chair," which allows a woman with cystic fibrosis to control a vibrating system set up to her wheelchair, which helps break up fluid in her lungs. It also provides assistance in learning cause and effect lessons.
