Student Fatma Abdullah Al-Naqbi, 14, invented a smart phonetic wand that enables blind people to reach their destination without the need for facilities.
Al-Naqbi, a student at Al-Badia Secondary School for Girls, explained that "the hat allows the blind to rely on themselves, provides them with protection to avoid danger, and reduces their vulnerability to colliding with objects as they move."
"The hat sends waves that measure the dimensions of the objects in the path of the blind. In analyzing these dimensions, the person is warned to produce vibrations, to make a sound to determine the distance and to indicate whether the person has a body, hole or high places."
"The smart hat has the ability to communicate with the blind or responsible for it in the event of an accident or an emergency, by pressing a button to send a text message to the numbers in its memory or to contact the police or ambulance directly."
Al-Naqbi stressed that she has turned to this innovation to help the blind, as they are the most in need of support and support, adding that the devices currently available in the market are expensive, noting that she is developing the smart hat to "head" on the head to help the large age groups.
"It was the experience of one of my relatives suffering from Down's syndrome," she said. "This group deserves all the efforts.
