Nigerian Students Invent Technology to Make Smart Phones Accessible to the Blind [Pic]

It is a software that comes with a manual controller .The software itself is downloaded into the user’s phone and then the user is given the controller and an identification number. The identification number is entered into the software for compatibility with the controller, meaning only one controller is able to work with a single software.

The manual controller has two dongles for scrolling and a central “select” behindon, making it’s operation as easy as it can be.

The app also has a voice guide to notify when Humane has been successfully activated but the biggest merit is that for an app they can do so much, it connection is simply by Bluetooth – the same way two phones are connected for file sharing.

The entire project is still in its developmental stages but this is one of the most useful and ingenious applications of tech you will find this side of the world.

Humane was developed by Victor Shoaga, Ayodele Obasegun, Oyatope Blessing and Otaru Babatunde, all students of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University.
