hello friends. today i came across a wonderful invention, please do read, give your views, and share with your friends. i dont know how much it will be useful keeping in regard the indian infrastructure. Created keeping visually impaired people in mind, LECHAL (meaning 'take me there' in Hindi) is an interactive haptic footwear that can be used in more ways than one. Primarily, it uses bluetooth to connect to a smartphone (iOS, Android, Windows) and sends users haptic feedback to guide them to their destination. In simple words, if you want to travel from your house to a nearby theatre, the footwear will guide you to it by providing vibrations. If you need to turn right, the right side of the footwear will vibrate. It can also double up as a lifestyle product that tracks the number of steps you take, the number of calories you burn and even lets you set fitness goals. If that wasn't enough, you can share routes with your friends who too are using the shoe. All of this for a price of $100.

According Krispian Lawrence, 'Every time you buy a pair of Special Edition footwear, one pair of LECHAL footwear will be subsidized for a visually challenged person, through Institutes like the world renowned L V Prasad Eye Institute, based in Hyderabad'. When you buy LECHAL, you'll get a pair of footwear (insoles or shoes), a Charger, an Application which can be downloaded on an smartphone (Android/IOS/Windows compatible). regards, kriti banga. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
