iAid: A Novel Navigation Device for the Visually Impaired
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Windsor | | Ville: | Windsor, ON | | École: | Academie Ste. Cecile International | | Sommaire: | A novel navigation device for the visually impaired was developed using multimodal feedback. A joystick rotated to show direction, tilted to show distance to the destination, and alerted users to obstacles within 60 cm. 10 volunteers, 1 retinitis pigmentosa patient, and 11 other visually impaired people were tested measuring course completion time and number of collisions. The iAid was the fastest and safest device. |
