…their shape. Finding a battery that would last 10 hours—hopefully enough sleep for the average undergraduate student—was also a challenge. To prolong battery life, the team decided to use Bluetooth Low Energy and only play back locally stored audio files on the device itself. Chesong and Synn developed the Hush…
