B
At just 18 years old, Khalifa Aminu from Kano, Nigeria, has proved himself as an amazing inventor with his sensory glasses designed to help the visually impaired(视障人士).
The glasses are fitted with infrared sensors(红外传感器) that can “see” obstacles in the user’s path, warning them about possible dangers without the need for traditional walking sticks or guide dogs. In their current form, the glasses let out a beeping sound when an object is nearby, helping users move past it safely. Aminu is now working on making the glasses even more effective, particularly in low-light and nighttime conditions.
Aminu’s journey into the world of invention began in childhood. He started small, building a canoe(独木舟) as his first project, and quickly realized that his creations could be used to solve real-world problems in his community. This love for invention has led him to create various innovations such as a radio station, a bomb detector and an automatic water sprayer for farmers.
As for how Aminu came up with the idea of his latest creation, Aminu explained, “I grew up in an area where there are visually impaired people, and I understand what they’re going through. This is why I began the process of building a technology-based solution for them.”
The glasses have received positive feedback from testing. In a recent trial, a blind man was highly impressed by their effectiveness. “He suggested several improvements, like a wireless switch, smaller parts, and lenses for better usability,” Aminu explained. “These suggestions will be carried out in future versions, but the challenge remains the lack of materials and resources for further development.”
Luckily, in June, Aminu’s invention caught the attention of Nigeria’s National Commission for Persons with Disabilities, suggesting a bright future for him in further innovation and mass production. “My ultimate (最终的) dream is to build a global company that continues to develop innovative technological solutions not only for Nigeria but for the world,” said Aminu.
