First design of the telescope
First of all, we chose a design very much corresponding to that of a customary
telescope (Fig.
2
).
But we were concerned that people, especially children, would get their hands
caught in the cavity between the axis and the telescope itself. So we have slightly
altered the design to take care of this issue (Fig.
2
b).
4.2 Interface Architecture
Our new design included a microphone and headphones to make future develop-
ments possible. The whole of the telescope is, needless to say, waterproof. The
angles are measured by an absolute coder, and the camera has a variable field of
view. The vision is ensured by a micro display device. Focus-command and selec-
tive interface are provided by toothed wheel (Fig.

).
