The article discusses innovative shoes designed for visually impaired individuals, created by the Austrian company Tech-Innovation. These shoes, called InnoMake,
feature built-in sensors that detect obstacles within a range of 0.5 to 4 meters. When an obstacle is detected, the shoes alert the wearer through vibrations or sound. The system includes a rechargeable battery lasting up to a week, with a 3-hour charging time.
Additionally, users can customize the settings via a free app, such as adjusting the distance at which they are alerted. The shoes are water-resistant, and the sensor deactivates when seated, reactivating upon movement. There are stores in Austria where customers can try the shoes before purchasing.
