视障人士面临的日常困难对于愿景的礼物祝福似乎是对愿望的，但技术的祝福带来了一种这样的创新，这一定肯定会让盲人更容易变得更容易。由机器人研究员和发明家开发的智能硅烷在IIT德里本科研究生罗汉保罗博士中，解决了检测腰部上方的障碍的问题，即常规白甘蔗。An electronic travel aid which fits as a handle of the white cane, it’s inspired from animal ability to use ultrasonic waves and vibrations to avoid collision(read: Bats), this device can respond to approaching hurdles fast and can detect everything from signboards, people, parked cycles, or even cattle blocking the path! Already a boon to more than 10,000 people across India, it comes at a not-so-costly pricing of Rs. 3500. Dr. Rohan states that the idea behind this invention was to empower all the visually impaired and cure their fear of venturing out into the world without assistance, providing them with not just safety but also the dignity of self-reliance. Their next step is to tie-up with government institutions, schools, hospitals and local NGOs to find and reach out to the millions of visually impaired residing in the poorest and most remote areas of the country and the world.
