In India, the inspiration for a new device that helps blind people walk safely came from a motion-sensing technology used for videogames.
在印度,帮助盲人安全行走的一个新产品的发明灵感来自视频游戏中采用的体感技术。
A team of three young Indian engineers─Jatin Sharma, Tushar Chugh and Rolly Seth─has designed viSparsh, a waist belt that helps a blind person avoid obstacles that are on and above the ground.
沙玛(Jatin Sharma)、楚夫(Tushar Chugh)和赛斯(Rolly Seth)这三位年轻的印度工程师共同设计了viSparsh。这是一种腰带,可帮助盲人避开地面和地面之上的障碍物。
ViSparsh, one of the 12 finalists in The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards, employs the sensor technology used in Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT +0.21%Kinect, an accessory for the U.S. company's Xbox 360 videogame console that enables people to play games using their body movements and gestures instead of hand-held controllers.
ViSparsh是入围《华尔街日报》“亚洲创新奖(Asian Innovation Awards)的12件决赛作品之一,采用的是微软公司(Microsoft Corp.)动作感应操作系统Kinect中的感应技术。Kinect是该公司视频游戏机Xbox 360的配件,通过它人们可利用肢体动作和手势来玩游戏,而不必使用手柄。
The three engineers, who met through an academic fellowship program, started developing viSparsh a year ago and showcased a prototype at Microsoft's annual developer conference in Bangalore in March. In May, Microsoft hired them as full-time employees. Still, the engineers maintain their sole ownership of the viSparsh project, which will license out the sensor technology used in Kinect.
