印度非营利组织国家盲人协会(National Association for the Blind)信息技术部项目经理卡勒(Sandeep Kaler )说,viSparsh这样的产品无法替代人的视觉,但可以为盲人标识出障碍物。该协会的宗旨是通过教育和培训为盲人拓展空间。卡勒表示,印度有超过95%的盲人目前使用的都是普通手杖。
In India, viSparsh isn't the only attempt to create new devices that can help the blind navigate the streets more safely. One product that is being developed is the Smartcane, a white walking cane that uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles up to three meters and sends vibratory signals to the user. The device was designed by a group of students at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, and the institute now runs the project with industrial partners.
viSparsh不是印度国内发明此类新产品的唯一尝试,这些产品可帮助盲人更安全地通过街道。目前正处于研发阶段的一个产品是智能手杖(Smartcane)。这根白色手杖可利用超声波传感器探测三米之内的障碍物,然后向使用者发送震动信号。该产品由印度理工学院(Indian Institute of Technology)的一群学生设计,现在这个项目由该学院和工业伙伴共同负责。
The Smartcane, powered by a rechargeable battery similar to those used in mobile phones and digital cameras, will cost about 2,000 rupees ($38), according to M. Balakrishnan, a professor at the computer science and engineering department of IIT Delhi, who mentored the students behind the Smartcane project. It is scheduled to hit the market next summer.
