Ford of italy with Aedo (a startup that develops products for the visually impaired) and agency GTB Roma has developed a new prototype technology called Feel The View that uses vibrations in a vehicle's side glass to give the visually impaired people a feel of what's outside. 





It has a built-in external-facing camera that sits at the top of a car window. Pressing a button on the device takes a picture of the current view ,which is then displayed on the window as a black and white image using special LEDs.



When the image is touched, the different shades of grey in it vibrate with 255 different intensity levels, allowing the blind passengers to rebuild it in their mind's eye - just like braille.

An on-board vocal assistant will also talk through what is happening in the snapshot to put the view into context.

Although it's still a concept at this stage, Ford said it creates a whole new language which would help blind passengers experience a great aspect of driving.

Africa... We are waiting for the thing to reach us so we can buy and use it to oppress our fellow Africans that can not afford it....

Wetin we sabi self?
Apart from jazz, greed, born children, religion, fake life... And the list goes on...while we perfect our negativity, oyinbo dey do miracles...

Millions of graduates in building, engineering, medicine, technology etc but to build comon road we need to call Chinese...it's a big pity... Then one idiot will buy a range Rover and be feeling like his melanin just vanished... black man go always be black man... Unless you open your mind and realize we are living the script some other people wrote for us... Until then we will always be the laughing stock of the world...

Imagine people in America still believe that Africans live on trees... In 2018 ooo.... Well sha... Let me come and go from here...

You have said well my brother... We Africans lived on white man's ideas.. we enjoyed their innovations and inventions.. name them.. let's imagine that white did not explore Africa... all those blacks africa claiming to be wiser or more intelligent than the whites are foolish and myopic...

If not for d intuition of d white.. i wonder how Africa for be by now... mostly Nigeria...

White have done blacks well.. so always thumbs up for the whites...
