“With minimal practise, this device is capable of greatly aiding someone visually impaired have a sense of their surroundings. The glove has a longer range than a cane and is able to detect obstacles like cars, people, walls, and trees. It will greatly aid in mobility and positional awareness.
The Sonar Glove is a compact, hand held sonar device similar to that on a large watercraft. Using the on-board ultrasonic sensor, it detects the nearest object from the user and alters the frequency of a beeping noise accordingly so the user may gauge the distance of obstacles around them.
Our hearts and talents go out to the disabled as we keep improving technology to make their life easier. This project was solely created for that purpose.”
