By ForGeeks AI Guided has introduced the innovative GUIDi belt — a modern alternative to the traditional cane for the blind. A camera and electronics embedded in this belt carefully analyze the environment, alerting the user to potential collisions.
AI Guided has introduced the GUIDi — a state-of-the-art alternative to the traditional cane for the blind.
GUIDi — a belt-mounted wearable device that includes a front module with two cameras, as well as a microprocessor and electronics unit on the back and four haptic feedback units. As the user moves around, two 8-megapixel cameras scan the environment, and artificial intelligence-based software analyzes the video in real time to detect and recognize static objects such as trees, road signs, garbage cans and any other obstacles.
GUIDi responds to these obstacles by silently activating corresponding haptic feedback units that vibrate, alerting the user to the obstacle in the chosen direction. Unlike a conventional cane, the GUIDi has a range of up to 5 meters, which can be adjusted if necessary.
With a special mobile app that communicates with the belt via Bluetooth, the user can specify a destination point and GUIDi will automatically guide the user along the desired path. The battery built into the belt will last for 10 hours of continuous use. The buttons on the belt itself are also equipped with Braille for ease of use.
