Revolutionizing the Walking Cane: A Simple Design Gets a Hi-Tech Upgrade | Short Film Showcase


so all of us would have seen a personal
vision impairment use the white cane to
detect nearby obstacles on the ground
but this scan cannot detect anything
from knee till head height which
frequently causes upper body or face
injuries so for a person with blindness
it’s like walking in a minefield
suddenly uncovered an obstacle it hits
you then you’re the change direction the
smart gain device fits on the top fold
of the traditional white cane what it
has it has an ultrasonic transmitter
receiver system which projects an
ultrasonic beam which gets reflected
from obstacles in front which gives
indication to what the distance is and
this distance information is provided
through these variant vibration patterns
which are produced on the grid so as the
person is walking once they get
vibrations they know there’s something
in front even without touching and by
changing the direction of the sensor
they know well there’s a gap in this
part so they don’t have to bang into a
wall or a person or even an animal and
can find a safe path on the side man
those alsace mark in ke saath kaam kar

Illya the brother cheesy feeling at the
end it has improved my confidence a lot
you know this travel decision use how do
you feel it’s nice in the development of
the smart can different users in
different parts of India used it and
give the feedback had to be something
very subtle and lightweight
for an engineer there’s nothing more
beautiful than somebody using your
innovation so when you walk in the
street and find somebody whom we don’t
know you don’t know where they’ve got
the device from or where the training
from is using in the day-to-day lives
there’s nothing more beautiful than that
so this is a call for young people who
have energies to actually think
out-of-the-box to invent to find
solutions to the pressing challenges
facing our people so the young people in
science and technology have a role to
play and to develop you know solutions
in India for India and on track for the
world
