Guwahati: Demonstrating remarkable innovation and a commitment to inclusivity, two student--scientists from Hojai district have developed a path guide suit designed to help visually impaired individuals navigate their surroundings safely and independently.
Class X students Abdul Subur and Ankita Dey designed the wearable device using sensors to detect obstacles and provide real-time guidance to the user.
“The project aims to enhance the mobility of visually impaired people using ultrasonic sensors and vibrating motor When the suit detects an obstacle within 70 metres, it sends a vibration to alert the user. We made the model at a cost of just Rs 2,000. If manufactured on an industrial  scale, it could greatly benefit the visually impairedAbdul said.
In addition to their scientific model, other innovations such as water channel cleaning vehicles and fuel production from plastics were showcased by students at  the two-day 17th state-level meet of the 219 Aryabhata Science Centres across Assam. The event, held at the Maniram Dewan Trade Centre in Guwahati, was organised by the Assam Science Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) to nurture innovative minds and their scientific pursuits
