Computer scientists from Austria have developed a revolutionary shoe, InnoMake, to assist blind individuals in avoiding obstacles while walking. Tec-Innovation, an Austrian company, and Graz University of Technology collaborated to create the $3,000+ shoes.
InnoMake features a waterproof ultrasonic sensor on each shoe’s toe, detecting obstacles up to 13 feet away. Vibrations and sounds alert the wearer as they approach objects. The technology is comparable to parking sensors found in vehicles.
