Many of us have experienced the excruciating pain of a toe stroke, an inevitable accident in life. Navigating this world can be a challenge, even with our sense of sight. Now imagine the tribulations faced by the visually impaired, those individuals who have to go through the labyrinth of life without the light that guides them.
Traditionally, people with visual impairments use canes or other aids to move around their environment without unfortunate collisions. Some even find company with loyal guide dogs. However, a technological revelation is on the horizon for these resilient souls.
Imagine: shoes that act as sentinels, alerting wearers to the presence of obstacles, much like the proximity sensors in cars that prevent unfortunate collisions when reversing. Thanks to the innovation of an Australian company known as Tec-Innovation, this is no longer a fantasy. They gave birth to the InnoMake shoes, which house an ingenious integrated sensor. These shoes vibrate or emit audible signals, acting as a vigilant sentinel whenever an obstacle looms nearby. Amazingly, they have the ability to detect obstacles up to a remarkable distance of 4 meters.
It is remarkable to note that it is not necessary to have a smartphone to exploit this wonder. With the purchase of these sensors, an add-on app is available, giving users the ability to customize their features. You can fine-tune the alerts and determine the minimum alert distance based on your unique preferences.
But that’s not all: these sensors have remarkable additional features. They are waterproof, which ensures their functionality even in adverse weather conditions. In addition, smart modes promise to further enhance the user experience, adding an extra layer of comfort and safety to everyday life.
Take a deeper dive into this technological leap in the video presentation below:
In a world full of special footwear choices, InnoMake stands as a beacon of innovation, lighting the way to a more accessible and safer future for the visually impaired.
