Our project focuses on creating assistive technology for the visually impaired. With Florida being #1 in visual impairments per capita, it is the perfect place to make this impact. The visually impaired have been left behind in terms of today's technology, and therefore, feel left out and dependent. The few options of assistive technology out today are expensive (multiple thousands of dollars) and do not meet the needs of the community by promoting safety. Our project changes this. We are 2 students from the Engineering School of Florida International University, Mike Romano and Gabriel Habech, and we set out to solve this global problem inspired by a lifelong, blind friend. Our tech has granted our friend the independence he desires, and has the capability to make the same impact around the world. Our friend was even able to play soccer with his family, despite being fully blind! Our device is simple and user friendly, you strap it on your head, it does the seeing for you, and if there is an object near you it lets you know through vibrations. This revolutionary real time feedback has the potential to change lives around the globe, and we are hoping the Awesome Foundation helps us cause global change!
