If you see someone wearing these shoes, stop what you’re doing and look around…
The article highlights an innovative shoe design for visually impaired individuals, developed by the Austrian company Tech-Innovation. These shoes, known as InnoMake, are equipped with sensors that detect obstacles from 0.5 to 4 meters away. When an obstacle is identified, the shoes notify the wearer through vibrations or sounds. They come with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to a week, requiring about 3 hours to fully charge. Users can adjust settings using a free app, including the alert distance. The shoes are also water-resistant, and the sensors automatically deactivate when sitting and reactivate upon movement. Customers can try the shoes in select Austrian stores before buying.
