Shoes will help blinds see

Special shoes will make it easy for blinds to move freely without sticks.

Students at the University of Texas have come up with a shoe covered in sensors that will sense the barriers and vibrate once an obstacle is approached. The sensor nearest to the object will begin to shake — and the closer the obstacle, the faster the vibration.This will give them signals in advance where the obstacle is and then they will move accordingly.Another objective of the shoes is to free up both hands for whoever wears these shoes.One of the students on the design team, tested the shoe while blindfolded, and within feet of an object she was able to tell it was there. She said she’s excited about putting the shoe to use.This shoe is a nice gift for all those who cannot see. It will help in making their life quite easy.
