problem
Urban cyclists juggle navigation and traffic awareness at the same time. Screens distract and reduce visibility, while audio cues mask environmental sounds. A hands-free, in-view solution is needed for safer guidance.
solution
Spyn replaces traditional screens and audio prompts with a subtle light-based communication system, offering cyclists a safer, more intuitive way to navigate while staying fully aware of their surroundings.
Spyn is a lightweight, handlebar-mounted navigation system featuring dual LED strips on either side of the stem.
It is powered by an Arduino-based MCU, a rechargeable battery, and a Bluetooth (HC-05) module for wireless communication. Each strip contains ultra-bright, multi-color LEDs with a diffuser for clear visibility in all weather conditions.
Navigation data from Google Maps is processed by a companion app and transmitted via Bluetooth to deliver real-time guidance. The design is compact, weather-resistant, and compatible with standard handlebars.
