In the world there are more “smart” gadgets. But most of them bear nothing but a minor make everyday tasks easier. For example, viewing notifications on the watch and not on the phone, photographing by pressing on the earpiece and not the trigger of the camera and so on. But one in particular is “smart” devices that can really benefit. For example, the recent development of Ford – glass, which will allow blind people to “see” the landscape outside the window.
The technology of “smart” glass has received the name of The View Feel. It is a special device which is mounted on top of the glass of the car. The passenger cars suffering from visual impairment can click a button on the control unit, after which the device will take a picture of what is happening outside the window. Then the frame is translated into a high contrast monochrome image that is displayed on the glass using the vibrations created by the vibrator motor.
Every shade of color corresponds to a certain type of vibration, the total number of which is equal to 255. Thus, visually impaired people will be able to obtain tactile information about the same way as it happens when you touch the special paintings for blind people. Read more about the new development you can learn with the help of video available below.
