Abstract
Pouring hot drinks is more challenging for the visually impaired and is challenging to determine the exact level of the water inside. This paper presents the design and development of an assistive device to assist the visually impaired handle hot liquids safer. In the proposed system, a cup holder developed that measures the water level and temperature through the use of various sensors. A cup prototype was designed using CAD and printed for further testing. The team has successfully developed a working prototype that determines water level through pressure and provides a warning to the user when the water is too hot. In the future, further tests will be done to allow various types of cups on the cupholder.
