In
a bustling and fast-paced world, individuals with visual impairments encounter
challenges with mobility. Fortunately, technological advancements have greatly
improved the lives of these individuals.
Now,
in addition to canes or service dogs aiding navigation, visually impaired
individuals have access to the latest high-tech solution offered by an
Austrian-based company called Tech-Innovation.
This
company has developed shoes equipped with built-in sensors that notify visually
impaired individuals, either through vibration or sound, when an obstacle is
detected.
The
product, called InnoMake, features sensors that respond when an obstacle is
detected within a range of four meters to half a meter. The sensors are
inserted into a designated slot within the shoes and are powered by a
rechargeable battery that lasts up to a week before needing recharging. It takes
only three hours for the battery to reach full charge.
The
shoes and sensor are accompanied by a free app. Through this app, users can
customize various settings, including the distance at which they receive alerts
from objects.
If
you're curious about how the shoes perform in rainy or snowy weather, rest
assured that the creators have designed the sensor to be water-resistant.
Additionally, users have the option to activate the intelligent mode, which
deactivates the sensor when they are seated and reactivates it upon sensing
movement.
Numerous
shops across Austria offer users the opportunity to try on the shoes before
making a purchase.
This
innovation truly is a life-changing one.
