How does the shoe work?

As per the reports of ANI, the shoe has been specially designed to detect incoming obstacles and warn the person wearing it. It has been well equipped with a sensor that picks up or senses any hurdles and a buzzer goes off to warn the person. Hearing this, the person will be ready to act accordingly to avoid such messes.

“If there’s an obstacle in the way, the sensor in the shoe will detect it and the buzzer will give an alert. When the buzzer will ring, the visually impaired person will be able to hear it and he can become alert and act accordingly to avoid the obstacle “
