Young Bahraini sisters Noor and Fatima Ghazwan have collaborated to develop the prototype of a ‘smart hat’ for the blind to ensure their safety using sensors and artificial intelligence (AI).
The fourth and fifth grade students of Salmabad Primary Girls School, aged 10 and 11 respectively, said the hat would provide audible and vibrating alerts every time the wearer is set to encounter something that might hurt them or impede their movement .
