The GSPI cane is a prototype that has the purpose of facilitating people’s move
with visual disability, based on the original design of a cane of rough use for
people with visual disability, in which sensors are used. The GSPI cane detects
objects at a certain distance by of ultrasonic waves. When an object is detected,
the cane sends a signal to the electronic brain of this equipment, which alerts
the user by vibrations in the handle where it is held avoiding the user impact
with objects.
The purpose of this prototype is focused on the medical area based on a set of
studies and investigations, to develop a prototype that is easy to handle and
promotes transport safety for users with visual disabilities. Currently the
equipment works with a registered distance, this distance indicates the users
vision area depending on the users characteristics, this distance is programmed
because not all the people have the same height and speed when walking if a
standard distance is left through research studies is not convenient for the
aforementioned, creating a database through a cloud, in which the avenues and
places more visited for the user will be saved, this will be programmed, and
stored. In order for the equipment to be functional, it is necessary to have an
ultrasonic sensor, a power supply system and an alarm system, that is, a card
where the instructions of the equipment can be programmed and followed by
it.
