1 | Students in India Have Developed a “SmartCane” for the Blind | |
2 | Screenshot from the video explaining how SmartCane works | India: Tehina “SmartCane” Misy SONAR Noforonin'ny Mpianatra Mba Hanampiana Ny Jamba |
3 | The marriage of two technologies can achieve awesome things. | Afaka mitondra amin-javatra tsy mampino ny fitambaran'ny teknolojia roa samihafa. |
4 | Students at IIT Delhi are certainly making an impression with a new invention, the SmartCane, which enhances one of the world's oldest instruments-the walking stick-by adding SONAR, a technique used to navigate and communicate underwater, to help visually impaired people to walk independently. | Tena nanao zavatra nanintona ny saina tokoa ireo mpianatra ao amin'ny IIT Delhi tamin'ny asa famoronana nataony, dia ny tehina SmartCane, izay mampivady fitaovana faran'izay tranainy indrindra teto ambonin'ny tany - ny tehina fitondran'ny jamba - tamin'ny fametahana SONAR taminy mba hanampiana ireo manana olana amin'ny fahitàna ho afaka mandeha mahaleotena. |
5 | One out of every three blind people in the world (an estimated 15 million) lives in India. | Iray isaky ny olona telo jamba manerana ny tany (voavinavina ho 15 tapitrisa eo) no monina ao India. |
6 | There are approximately 2 million blind children in India and only 5 percent of them receive any education. | Misy manodidina ny 2 tapitrisa eo ho eo ny ankizy jamba ao India ary 5 isanjaton'izy ireny ihany no nahazo fanabeazana. |
7 | Visually impaired people face no shortage of problems in India, where disabilities can be especially challenging. | Tsy lany olana atrehana ireo olona manana olana amin'ny fahitàna ao India ao, firenena iray izay tena olana manokana mihitsy ny fanànana fahasembanana. |
8 | Pedestrians are often forced onto the street, as sidewalks are cluttered with vendors, animals, and other obstacles. | Matetika no voatery midina anaty arabe ny mpandeha an-tongotra, satria feno mpivarotra ny sisin-dàlana, na biby, na sàkana hafa. |
9 | Blind people typically use canes, of course, but the traditional cane cannot detect objects higher than one's waist. | Mampiasa ny tehina efa mahazatra hatrizay ireo jamba, saingy tsy afaka hahita izay zavatra misy ankoatry ny ambanin'ny valahany ireny tehina tranainy ireny. |
10 | Inventing an affordable and simple tool to aid the visually impaired has been a priority for many researchers across the world. | Laharam-pahamehana ho an'ireo mpikaroka marobe manerana izao tontolo izao ny famoronana fitaovana tsotra sy mora mba hanampiana ireo olona tratry ny olana amin'ny fahitàna. |
11 | Innovations like Roshni, also developed by students at IIT Delhi, are promising, but suffer from various logistical issues that make large-scale production impractical. | Maha-be fanantenana ihany koa ireo asa famoronana toy ny Roshni, novokarin'ireo mpianatra ao amin'ny IIT Delhi, saingy misedra olana samihafa amin'ny resaka fanohanana ka mahatonga fahasarotana amin'ny fanatanterahana ny famokarana azy ho vokatra maro. |
12 | Professor Meenakshi Balakrishnan, a computer engineer at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, lead a team of researchers and students to develop SmartCane, which emits ultrasound waves to detect nearby obstacles and vibrates to warn the user. | Ny profesora Meenakshi Balakrishnan, injeniera iray mpahay momba ny solosaina ao amin'ny IIT Delhi, no mitarika andiany iray ahitàna mpikaroka sy mpianatra mba hamorona ny SmartCane, izay mandefa onjam-peo manana halavàna faran'izay ambony ho adòna amin'ny sakana sy hamerina hovitra ka hampitandrina ny mpampiasa azy. |
13 | It was officially launched last March. | Nambara tamin'ny fomba ofisialy tamin'ny Martsa teo ny fanombohany. |
14 | SmartCane copies the skills of animals, like bats, which also emit sonar calls into their surroundings and guide themselves using echoes. | Maka tàhaka ny fomban'ny biby ny SmartCane, toy ny ramanavy, izay mandefa onjam-peo ihany koa amin'ireo manodidina azy ary iny no mitantana ny dian-dry zareo amin'ny fampiasàna ny hovitra voarainy. |
15 | The vibration is much better than an audio alert, moreover, because sound may not be audible on noisy streets. | Tsara lavitra noho ny fanairana amin'ny alalan'ny feo ny hovitra, sady izao koa, satria ny feo mety tsy ho re rehefa eny amin'ireo arabe maresaka loatra. |
16 | Brilliant lowcost “SmartCane” for visual #disabled comes out of @iitdelhi Great to see social #innovation like this. http://t.co/ccU794YXoH | Tehina “SmartCane” tsara sy mora vidy vita ao @iitdelhi ho an'ireo #sembana ara-pahitàna Fatratra loatra ny mahita #asafamoronana ara-tsosialy tahaka izao. |
17 | - swaraj barooah (@swarajbarooah) July 22, 2014 Unlike a similar British innovation, the $985-USD UltraCane, the SmartCane is affordable at just INR 3000 (about $50). | Tsy tahàka ilay asa famoronan'ny Britanika, ilay tehina UltraCane mitentina 985 dolara Amerikana, fa takatry ny rehetra ny SmartCane amin'ny vidiny INR 3000 monja (eo amin'ny 50 dolara Amerikana eo). |
18 | The video below depicts a typical day in the life of a SmartCane user, portraying the various challenges one faces: | Mampiseho ny fiainana isanandron'ny olona iray mpampiasa Smartcane ny lahatsary eto ambany, mamariparitra ireo sedra isankarazany tsy maintsy atrehana: |
19 | The field stage validation trial of Smartcane was conducted among approximately 150 users in 6 cities in India of which almost all are now regular SmartCane users. | Natao niaraka taminà mpampiasa niisa teo amin'ny 150 tany aminà tanàna 6 tao India ny fampiharana ho fankatoavana ny Smartcane, ary saiky efa mpampiasa Smartcane isanandro ankehitriny izy rehetra ireo. |
20 | The training/learning material for SMartCane is available for download in Hindi and English in different formats like epub, daisy, braille, clear print, etc. | Ny fitaovana fanofànana/fianarana momba ny SmartCane dia vonona sy azo trohana amin'ny fiteny Hindi sy English, ary amin'ny endriny isankarazany toy ny epub, daisy, braille, clear print, sns. |
21 | According to the Facebook page of SmartCane, the device is being provided to the under privileged visually impaired in Punjab for INR 400 only under the Partial Subsidy Scheme aided by the National Donation Pool. | Araka ny pejy Facebook an'ny SmartCane, hatolotra ho an'ireo olona sahirana tratry ny tsy fahatomombanana ara-pahiàna ao Punjab amin'ny vidiny INR 400 ilay fitaovana, ao anatin'ilay fandaharanasa famatsiana amin'ny ampahany atolotry ny “National Donation Pool”. |
22 | Right now the SmartCane is available to the user from a network of over 16 welfare organizations for the blind across 12 states in India. | Amin'izao fotoana izao ny SmartCane dia azon'ireo mpampiasa atao ny mahazo azy amin'ny alàlan'ny tambajotra iray ahitàna fikambanana 16 ho fanampiana ny jamba manerana ireo fanjakana 12 ao India. |

24 | The Better India magazine lists some user comments: | Manome lisitry ny fanehoankevitry ny mpampiasa azy ny Better India magazine : |
25 | “It is a very useful device because earlier with a regular cane, I quite often collided with vehicles like truck, tractor or bus. This was because my cane would pass beneath these big vehicles and I would collide abruptly. | “Tena fitaovana manampy tokoa ilay izy, satria tamin'ilay tehina nahazatra taloha dia matetika aho no midona aminà fiara toy ny kamiao, trakitera na fiara fitaterana iombonana. io dia noho ilay tehiko tafiditra any ambanin'ireny fiara vaventy ireny ary dia midona tampoka any aho. |
26 | I have got injuries on my forehead due to such incidents. | Naratra noho ireny fifandonana ireny ny handriko. |
27 | With this device I get a pre-warning of such dangerous obstacles through vibrations. | Miaraka amin'ity fitaovana ity, mahazo fampitandremana mialoha amin'ny alàlan'ny hovitra aho amin'ny sakana mampidi-doza tahaka izany. |
28 | This also helps me in detecting street animals such as a cow. | Manampy ahy ihany koa hamantatra ny fisian'ny biby eny an'arabe izy ity, toy ny omby. |
29 | ” - Ketan from Ahmedabad | ” - Ketan avy ao Ahmedabad. |
30 | “It feels great to be able to move around alone. | “Tena fatratra izany hoe afaka mandehandeha irery izany. |
