Two researchers from the Kyoto Institute of
Technology have created electronic goggles that help blind people cross streets safely. The electronic eye
detects the location of a crosswalk using a digital camera and computer, then calculates the width of the crossing and
the color of assocaited traffic lights. The system worked 194 out of 196 times in tests. In those two
failures, the system mistakenly said there wasn't a crosswalk where there was one. Better that than the other way
around, we suppose.
i think if our society has more caring people than now we don't even need this kind of invention for the disable.
brucetct-Maybe they would like to be independent and not be waited on by "caring people."
but judging by your blog you whole-heartedly know what people want and need, better than they themselves do.
But, what about the 2 blind people that were killed during this study!? ;-)
Hula hoop anyone?
