Never before have the visually impaired driven a car all by themselves, but with a laser range finder and an instant voice command interface embedded into a retrofitted four-wheel dirt buggy, the blind could be able to steer it, making it the first car.
A consortium of research institutes and Universities is developing a system prototype, which with the help of clever algorithms and technology to convert spatial information into 3D acoustic maps would enable the blind see. For real-time image...
We are running faster in the bionic race now than we did a year back. But because the inceptions are paving new hopes and dimensions for the differently abled, I in particular have started symbolizing myself with the evolution. Such again is this new...
The BrainPort is a vision device funded by the National Eye Institute, which provides information to blind individuals via a neuro-stimulating array placed on the tongue. This unique device provides immediate benefits to its blind users in the areas of.
