SmartVision Stick
About this project
This is a "smart" cane that warns of obstacles above your head and
below your feet.
People with loss of vision usually use a cane that will ensure safe movement
around the city. In urban conditions, there are a lot of obstacles not only on the ground, but also above the head and below our feet.
Our solution will allow such people to avoid collisions with obstacles and falling into depressions (pits, ditches).
Who it helps
Our Need-Knower is a person with complete loss of vision. He is a very energetic person and moves around a lot. He is a frequent user of canes for the blind.
How it works
SmartVision Stick is one of the participating projects of the 2021 Global Innovation Challenge.
You can learn more about the challenge on the GIC website or browse the projects on the GIC community page .
