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

So all of us would have seen a person with 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, an uncovered obstacle hits you, then you change direction.

The smart cane device fits on the top fold of the traditional white cane. What it has is an ultrasonic transmitter-receiver system, which projects an ultrasonic beam that gets reflected from obstacles in front. This gives an indication of 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. 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, a person, or even an animal, and can find a safe path on the side.

Man, those Alsace mark in ke saath kaam kar round monning me. Pele, six kilometers walk Kirk a miracle janitor station, then really neo da hua's if your bus linear Thea. My nearest metro station then Auto safe in my office on a filo t-midi Meccano phospho satya keep and eco Cousteau dehydrate OA be not a chronic 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 cane. Different users in different parts of India used it and gave 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 you 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.
