People wear these strange shoes and nobody knows why

Many of us have already experienced the atrocious pain of a toe, an inevitable accident in life. Navigating in this world can be a challenge, even with our sense of sight. Now imagine the tribulations faced by the visually impaired, those individuals who have to cross the labyrinth of life without the light that guides them.

Traditionally, people with visual impairments use sticks or other aids to move around in their environment without adverse collisions. Some even find company with faithful guide dogs. However, a technological revelation is looming on the horizon for these resilient souls.

Imagine a little bit: shoes that serve as sentries, alerting people who carry them with obstacles, much like the proximity sensors of cars that prevent bad collisions during reverse maneuvers. Thanks to the innovation of an Australian company known as Tec-Innovation, it is no longer a fantasy. They gave birth to InnoMake shoes, which house an ingenious built-in sensor. These shoes vibrate or emit sound signals, acting as a vigilant sentinel whenever an obstacle emerges close. Surprisingly, they have the ability to detect obstacles up to a remarkable distance of 4 metres.
