Blind Engineer Invents A ‘Smart Cane’ That Uses Google Maps To Help Blind People Navigate

盲人工程師發(fā)明了一種“智能拐杖”，利用谷歌地圖幫助盲人導航

Today, many products have been reinvented through technology. From smart planters to smart TVs, the power of technology doesn’t surprise us anymore. While many of the newest technological creations are dedicated to entertainment, there are many which contribute to our well being, especially to those who experience a disability of some sort.

今天，許多產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)通過技術被重新發(fā)明。從智能花盆到智能電視，科技的力量不再讓我們感到驚訝。雖然許多最新的科技發(fā)明都是為了娛樂，但也有很多是為了我們的幸福，尤其是那些經(jīng)歷過某種殘疾的人。

Recently, a revolutionizing smart cane called WeWalk has been introduced to help blind people navigate their surroundings much more efficiently when they are on their own.

最近，一種革命性的智能拐杖WeWalk問世，它可以幫助盲人在自己的環(huán)境中更有效地導航。

The cane was invented by a visually impaired engineer Kursat Ceylan, who is the CEO and co-founder of Young Guru Academy (YGA), the Turkish non-profit behind WeWALK. Being blind himself, Ceylan knows firsthand what challenges people like him face and decided to put his knowledge into inventing something that could greatly improve people’s life.

拐杖的發(fā)明者是視力受損的工程師庫爾薩特•賽蘭(Kursat Ceylan)，他是WeWALK背后的土耳其非營利組織青年領袖學院(Young Guru Academy, YGA)的首席執(zhí)行官和聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人。由于自己失明，Ceylan親身體驗到了像他這樣的人所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，并決定將自己的知識投入到發(fā)明一些可以大大改善人們生活的東西中。

“In these days, we are talking about flying cars, but these people have been using just a plain stick. As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station, I don’t know which is my exit… I don’t know which bus is approaching… which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he told CNN.

“如今，我們談論的是會飛的汽車，但這些人使用的只是一根普通的棍子。作為一個盲人，當我在地鐵站的時候，我不知道我的出口在哪里，我不知道哪輛公共汽車正在接近，我周圍的商店在哪里。這種信息可以通過WeWalk提供，”他告訴CNN。
