SDP Showcase: R.I.F.F (Recalling Instruments For Fun) "RIFF combines a custom guitar pedal platform and open source software to give musicians the ability to dynamically record, trigger, and layer digital audio samples over their instruments traditional analog signal.”

SDP Showcase: Polaris SDR "Primary purpose of Polaris SDR is to provide future cohorts of Umass CubeSat students and open source SDR hardware and software platform to iterate upon with the goal of building an embedded solution on board the final satellite."

SDP Showcase: ORBIT: Productivity Hub "Small interactions like checking messages or notifications often lead to longer distractions and break focus. These micro distractions accumulate and reduce productivity over time. Current solutions are mostly software based and do not provide a natural or satisfying way to stay focused. Orbit provides quick distraction free interactions through dedicated physical controls. The system is designed to help users stay focused while still accessing essential tools in a seamless and engaging way.”

SDP Showcase: Opti-Lift: "Opti-Lift is a wearable arm sleeve system that combines EMG and IMU sensors to monitor form and fatigue in real time for your biceps. The data is transmitted over Bluetooth to a web application where the software will analyze muscle activation, form, and imbalances.”

SDP Showcase: Haptic Feedback Controller “By equipping an RC car with sensors that measure force and vibrations during operation, these real-time signals will be transmitted to a custom haptic controller where they are translated into physical feedback in the form of vibrations and resistance in the steering wheel and trigger.”

SDP Showcase: Flip-o-Rama. “Revive and reimage the retro display for modern use by creating an open source controller board.”

SDP Showcase: Echosafe - Situational Awareness for the Hearing Impaired “Echosafe is a wearable system that detects and classifies key sounds and provides intuitive, directional, haptic feedback in real time.”
