Five Indiana engineering students built a 12-hour wearable that helps visually impaired users detect obstacles beyond a cane or guide dog

Rose-Hulman students have developed a remarkable wearable device tailored for visually impaired individuals. This innovative headgear employs advanced sensors to identify surrounding obstacles, providing users with haptic feedback. With a remarkable twelve-hour battery life on a single charge, this device empowers users with greater independence. The project's goal is to enhance the day-to-day experiences of those with vision impairments.
