Winners 2019
- LETIsmart light & voice: two hi-tech solutions to improve the autonomy of the visually impaired, which apply to the classic white stick without affecting its ergonomics and weight: a white light source that pulsates in conditions of poor visibility and a device that provides voice information and allows you to activate a customized acoustic signal to be guided to your destination.
- Tourist Eyes: artificial intelligence, cameras and 5G network are transformed into a personal tourist guide who guides and guides the visuallyimpaired traveler with maximum precision to his points of interest (tourist and otherwise, both indoors and outdoors) helping in moving safely (sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, etc …).
