A group of developers from the University of Nevada and the University of Arkansas created a smart glove with a set of sensors of various types, which allows blind to navigate in space, to determine the shape, size and relative position of objects.
Glove is equipped with a set of miniature cameras, microphones, tactile and temperature sensors. By processing the information coming from the sensors, the glove forms a tactile and audible comments that blind people can use to assess the environment. It is important that the glove due to the presence of cameras can recognize objects at a distance, and the person after receiving the notification of the approach to them is still time to make a decision. Note that some people are deprived of opportunities to see the world, in such situations, we used the method of echolocation, estimating the distance to the object . However, orienteering in this way require lengthy training and heightened hearing, and therefore not mastered by all. Related Products :
