It’s All About the Ring

Look at these projects here and here, then come back and compare. All three of them deal with a cup design for the visually impaired and hopes to avoid spills when filling a cup. Question is, which one of them solves the problem effectively? What do you think?

Guided Commute For Visually Challenged

The ‘Station reported device’ is both a guide dog and Marvel’s ‘Dare Devil’ rolled into one wearable gadget. This concept is designed to assist visually challenged persons for a safe commute. It employs EVTSS technology to send electrical signals to a person’s brain to create 2 dimensional visuals of oncoming vehicles and possible obstacles. The multitalented device can also guide a person to the nearest bust stop, select a bus route, scan the buses with its inbuilt camera and alert the wearer when the right bus comes. It can also generate SOS signals by means of sounds and lights.

This project is a Dongguan Cup winner.

Designers: Liang Wenshan, Zhengmu Fang & Liu Junming

Magnet Watches For Blind People

Eone a conçu une collection de montres en différents coloris pour aveugles appelées « The Bradley Timepiece » qui fonctionnent avec une petite boule magnétique qu’on touche pour savoir l’heure. Le nom « Bradley » est un hommage à un gagnant des Paralympics qui a perdu la vue au combat en Afghanistan.

Blank Calls

The CAE Blind Smartphone Concept is a new way of looking at smartphones. The purpose here is to have a device with digital accessibility to both the sighted and the impaired. The approach and UI is very realistic and something that can be integrated easily. Have a look and tell me your thoughts.

Scan With Fingertips

The Fingear is a fingertip scanner that can be used by the visually challenged people to scan and know what object they are touching. The device uses Bluetooth to connect and transmit the information to a hearing aid, popped into the ear. For example, if the user scans his finger over a flower, the earpiece communicates the same.

Tactile Comic for the Blind

Une très belle innovation de Philipp Meyer qui propose une mini bande-dessinée tactile destinée aux non-voyants comme aux voyants. En effet, « Life » est une expérience qui franchit des limites entre les genres de supports les rendant accessible à tous. Une très belle expérimentation à découvrir dans la suite.

3D Pentax

Although they may be sight impaired, the blind have heightened intuitiveness and imagination. To help them ‘see’ the bountiful beauty around them, this concept camera helps print three-dimensional images of whatever it captures. With features like adjusting the depth of the shot and its range, it offers an engaging and virtual experience. An idea worth exploring, what do you think Pentax?

Blind Skating

Aveugle depuis l’âge de 2 ans, Tommy Carroll a commencé à l’âge de 10 ans le skateboard pour lequel il cultive une réelle passion. Eyeforce a décidé de réaliser une superbe vidéo sur ce skater faisant fi de son handicap pour s’adonner à son sport favori. Une magnifique exécution à découvrir en images dans la suite.

Light Saber Can For The Sight Impaired!

The Eye Stick reinvents the traditional cane! It removes the inconveniences caused by a traditional cane for the blind and replaces it with scientifically enhanced saber-like device. Its designed not to be very long and uses rays and ultrasonic sensors to determine distance measurement, and thus help the sight impaired to navigate their surroundings safely.

“Eye Stick reinvents the traditional cane. It uses ultrasonic waves to reliably measure distance, unaffected by rain, fog, or other climate problems. Projected light is used to prevent collisions with other pedestrians. The ultrasonic system delivers information about hazards such as barriers and changes in floor level, detecting them in advance. Eye Stick also offers another function. It can obtain information about products, for example, by automatically scanning barcodes through a camera. The information is sent through a Bluetooth connection and converted to voice.”

The Eye Stick is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Designer: Kim Tae-Jin

Functional Fashion

NOTEX is a thoughtful wristband design that’s more than a funky fashion statement- it’s also a helpful tool that allows visually impaired individuals identify paper money. Designed exclusively for the people of India, the steel slap band features four kinks arranged according to the difference in the lengths of Indian rupee bills, which lack Braille or any other tactile identification. Simply snap it off and line the bills up with the end to make out the money and then snap it back on – genius!
