Smart canes
智能拐杖
Two eighth graders, from Austin, U.S., have created a "smart cane”. It helps people who are visually impaired(视力受损的).
Ahyan Hassan and Hasan Rizvi made the cane for a school science competition. The cane has sonar sensors(声呐传感器)that“ see” obstacles(障碍物)up to 1.5 metres away. This design won first prize in the competition.
“We put sweat and tears into this. We were really excited to win," Hassan told local newspaper KXAN News.
The boys have been best friends since the third grade.“We have lots of similarities(相似点). We both like science and have curiosity when it comes to things," Hassan explained.“When we see something, we always want to know how it works.”
Their idea came from the old canes of Rizvi's grandfather.“My grandfather is almost blind,” Rizvi said. “It's hard for him to get from place to place.”
So the boys added some sensors at the bottom of a cane. When they “see” things, they send information to the cane, which can then shake to remind the user.
“I hope this inspires other people to think outside the box, and that's my goal,” Rizvi said.
“It would be amazing if one day what I made became an actual product that I could see people using,” Hassan added.
Both boys hope to become engineers when they grow up. They also plan to improve their product to compete in more science fairs in the future.
