Computer scientists have created a smart shoe that helps blind and visually impaired people avoid multiple obstacles.
The shoes, called InnoMake, contain waterproof ultrasonic sensors attached at the tip of each shoe. Whenever it encounters obstacles, the sensors send vibrations or make noises to signal the wearer.
The warning system can detect obstacles from further away than a cane, helping the user to avoid both the obstacle and the unpleasant jolt of being rammed by your own cane when you run into something.
In a world of ever growing technology, the future is promising. I remember growing up, there was that fear of what the future would be like. My biggest fear was for my kid and what they'll go through being a carrier of hemophilia or for my grandson who'd be hemophiliac. But with such advances, it just opens up a new window of hope that the future generation will have better ways of coping and more advancements in quality of life as we know it.
Wow, that idea is genius. I'm telling you tech is limitless, that's just an amazing innovative device. I mean who would have thought that e-shoe's could work?
