Sm@rt Technology’s systems of beacons and sensors use Bluetooth technology to enhance the lives of people with sight loss by giving them audible commands relating to their surroundings via a variety of sensors incorporated into the systems.

They can be alerted to objects that may pose a hazard and can be told what the object is so they are aware of the hazard. Also by using the Sm@rtVi app links to all kinds of technology can be achieved.

The session will go through several of their advanced technologies, including.

• SmartCane

• SmartWrist

• Smart Beacons

• Smart Toilet Beacon

• SmartCross Traffic light system

• SmartBus

Smart Technology has many patents and designs continually improving the way a visually impaired person may experience their environment.
