Re: [AI] (please read) LECHAL - A shoe that can guide visuallyimpaired to their destination -
I think, the same device will be more useful if it comes in the form of a sunglass. Sometimes it is difficult to maintain a straight direction. We have to move the cane around. A sunglass will always keep us facing front. Actually I have an RniB glass with vibration. The same glass may be developed by the smart cane company.

Created keeping visually impaired people in mind, LECHAL (meaning 'take me there' in Hindi) is an interactive haptic footwear that can be used in more ways than one. Primarily, it uses bluetooth to connect to a smartphone (iOS, Android, Windows) and sends users haptic feedback to guide them to their destination. In simple words, if you want to travel from your house to a nearby theatre, the footwear will guide you to it by providing vibrations. If you need to turn right, the right side of the footwear will vibrate. It can also double up as a lifestyle product that tracks the number of steps you take, the number of calories you burn and even lets you set fitness goals. If that wasn't enough, you can share routes with your friends who too are using the shoe. All of this for a price of $100. Read more about how LECHAL works. http://www.bgr.in/news/made-in-india-lechal-a-bluetooth-connected-shoe-that-guides-wearers-with-directions-ss314/ The shoe has been designed by Krispian Lawrence and Anirudh Sharma, founders of Ducere Technologies and philanthropists who want to change the world and India in a positive way. According Krispian Lawrence, 'Every time you buy a pair of Special Edition footwear, one pair of LECHAL footwear will be subsidized for a visually challenged person, through Institutes like the world renowned L V Prasad Eye Institute, based in Hyderabad'. When you buy LECHAL, you'll get a pair of footwear (insoles or shoes), a Charger, an Application which can be downloaded on an smartphone (Android/IOS/Windows compatible). regards, kriti banga.
