Wearable device helps blind people detect obstacles
Researchers from the São Paulo State University and the Federal University of Espírito Santo in Brazil have developed a wearable device to help visually impaired people move around.
The technology has tactile beacons that can warn of the presence of obstacles, guaranteeing users greater autonomy and safety when walking, reports Agência FAPESP.
