A device called 'Shape' has been developed by Imperial College London in collaboration with MakeSense Technology and the charity Bravo Victor.Shape is a handheld device that uses touch-based feedback to guide visually impaired users in navigation.In a study, visually impaired participants performed just as well with Shape as sighted participants did with natural vision.Shape provides clear, non-intrusive guidance through touch and could potentially improve mobility for visually impaired people.
