Indian Engineers Modify Kinect To Help the Blind Walk With Confidence

Posted by Soulskill on Monday February 6, 2012 @10:59AM from the paging-geordi-laforge dept.

New submitter albinobee writes "The Kinect for Xbox 360 isn't only about gaming; it can also be used to help compensate for impaired vision, as a team of Indian engineers is working to prove. A device called viSparsh, still in its nascent stage, is a motion sensing belt that can help alert the blind to obstacles that lie in their path."
