Most of us have felt the unbearable agony of stubbing our toes – an inevitable accident in life. Even with our ability to see, navigating through this world can be difficult. Now, try to imagine the hardships faced by visually impaired individuals who have to navigate life’s maze without the guiding light of vision.
Historically, people with vision impairments have used canes or other tools to move around safely. Some also rely on guide dogs for companionship. But now, a new technology is coming to help them even more.
Imagine shoes that act as protectors, warning you about upcoming obstacles similar to the sensors in cars that prevent accidents. Tec-Innovation, an Australian company, has created the InnoMake shoes with a special sensor. These shoes will vibrate or make sounds to alert you when there is something in your way. Surprisingly, they can detect obstacles up to 4 meters away.
The shoes have hidden slots for advanced sensors that are seamlessly incorporated into their design. The rechargeable battery provides a week of continuous service. When it needs to be recharged, just three hours on the charger will bring it back to full power.
Surprisingly, you don’t need a smartphone to use this amazing device. When you buy these sensors, you also get a useful app that allows you to personalize how they work. You can adjust the alerts and set the minimum distance for alerts based on what you prefer.
Moreover, these sensors have other impressive qualities. They can withstand water, guaranteeing their performance in unfavorable weather. Furthermore, smart modes offer to improve the user’s experience, providing an added level of convenience and safety in everyday life.
In a world full of unique shoe options, InnoMake shines as a symbol of creativity, guiding the way to a better and safer future for those with vision impairments.
