Introduction: Overcoming Obstacles
We’ve all experienced the discomfort of stubbing a toe, an inevitable part of life that we strive to avoid. However, for those with visual impairments, navigating the world presents even greater challenges. Imagine the difficulty of moving through the environment without the ability to see.
Traditional Aids for the Visually Impaired
Visually impaired individuals often rely on canes or guide dogs to help them avoid obstacles while walking.
A Technological Breakthrough: InnoMake Shoes
Now, there’s a technologically advanced solution that promises to revolutionize the lives of many visually impaired individuals.
Introducing InnoMake Shoes
InnoMake shoes, developed by the Australian company Tec-Innovation, incorporate built-in sensors that detect obstacles in the wearer’s path.
Functionality of InnoMake Shoes
Similar to the sensors in vehicles that alert drivers of nearby obstacles, InnoMake shoes vibrate or emit sounds to warn wearers of potential collisions, such as curbs or furniture, up to 4 meters away.
Design and Battery Life
The sensors seamlessly integrate into slots on the shoes, and the rechargeable battery lasts for up to a week. Recharging takes approximately three hours.
User-Friendly Features
While the shoes can function independently, a free app is available for additional customization. Users can adjust alert settings and minimum detection distance according to their preferences.
Additional Features and Benefits
InnoMake shoes boast water resistance and offer various smart modes to further assist wearers in navigating their surroundings.
