A pair of "smart" shoes that have the ability to guide people με προβλήματα όρασης, σχεδίασαν δύο μέλη του Media Labs, του φημισμένου αμερικανικού πανεπιστημίου ΜΙΤ.
The name of the shoes is Lechal.
The designers, Kristian Lawrence and Anorand Sarma, created a pair of shoes, in which the user declares through the voice command the address he wishes to visit.
Ακολούθως, μέσω της αντίστοιχης εφαρμογής για «έξυπνα» κινητά τηλέφωνα, το GPS αναλαμβάνει δράση. Το Παγκόσμιο Σύστημα Θεσιθεσίας (Global enviroment Positioning System) charts a course and notifies the user of where to turn and where to continue straight through vibrations on the left or right leg.
"Smart" shoes do not have cameras so the user should be particularly careful about possible external hazards (obstacles, cars, etc.) during the journey.
Starting Friday, March 7th, Lechal will be available to the public for pre-order. Their price will range from 30 to 37 euros for people with visual impairments. For the rest, the cost acquisitionwill reach 70 euros.
