Happy to learn the HALO plan obviously won the HUMANA Contest . Check out the other winners . HALO (Haptic Assisted Locating of Obstacles) is a answer for visually marred people to understand obstacles around them. Here's a small description:
I not long ago watched an part of Stan Lee's Superhumans that featured a blind
human who used a array of clicks, similar to a bat, to relate fix up his surroundings. I
got to considering about other blind people and their aptitude to navigate openly "
without the use of a guide dog or cane. we came up with the thought to use a series
of rangefinders that would take submit from sensors and outlay feedback to pulse
quivering motors placed on a person's head. As a person gets closer to an object
the severity and magnitude of the quivering would enlarge " it's directly
proportionate to the stretch of an object. If a zone was scarce feedback,
then it would be protected to move forward in that direction.
I call my submission the H.A.L.O. – the Haptic Assisted Locating of Obstacles. I
think this can offer really utilitarian is to visually marred to have the freedom
to possibily move about hands-free without the benefit of a shaft or seeing
eye dog. Technology has positively done our every day lives better. By using a few
cheap components and sensors, I've done a device that will enable the blind
to navigate their environment and prevent collisions.
