Have you ever found yourself tripping on a curb or stubbing your toe on the sidewalk? It can happen to anyone, but imagine how much more challenging it is for those who are visually impaired or blind.
Individuals with visual impairments rely on canes or service dogs to navigate their surroundings safely. However, a cutting-edge solution called InnoMake from Tec-Innovation offers a new level of assistance.
InnoMake is a pair of shoes with built-in sensors that detect obstacles and provide feedback through sound or vibrations. These shoes provide a range of up to 13 feet, giving users ample time to react and adjust their path.
With a rechargeable battery that lasts up to a week and an accompanying app for customization, InnoMake shoes offer increased safety and independence to visually impaired individuals.
These innovative shoes are available in select stores in Austria or can be purchased online, providing a potentially life-changing solution for the blind and visually impaired.
