the visually impaired.&nbsp; The device won the company\u2019s annual search for innovative wireless applications that had been developed by students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Known as the Wearable Obstacle Detection System and Braille Cell Phone for the Blind, the project was developed by three graduating computer-engineering students from the Mapua Institute of Technology and it consists of a wearable device that includes an obstacle detection system as well as a Braille cell phone service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The head of the public affairs group for Smart Communications Inc, Ramon Isberto, says that it is definitely possible that the device could become available in the market soon, once a study on both its public service importance and its market potential has been conducted.&nbsp; Isberto says that ownership of the product will be retained by the developers but that the company is willing to assist the students to develop the project still further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The winning application from the Mapua Institute of Technology features a dual purpose wearable device which consists of an obstacle detection system as well as a standard cell phone which has been fitted with a Braille keypad created to help the visually impaired to be able to experience ease in both communication and mobility.&nbsp; Braille is used all over the world by the visually impaired in order to both read and write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart Communications Inc. is considering releasing a cell phone and
