 A young inventor from Kano State, northern Nigeria, Khalifa Aminu, has developed an innovative solution aimed at improving mobility for the visually impaired.

The 18-year-old developed a pair of sensor-based smart glasses designed to detect obstacles and help blind individuals navigate their surroundings independently.

The device, which Aminu calls the “Blind Glasses,” uses a combination of ultrasonic and infrared sensors to alert users to nearby obstructions through an audio signal.

“This device allows blind people to walk freely without being dependent on anyone,” Aminu told reporters. “I want to give them back their independence.”
