About White Jacket
White Jacket is a smart clothing item designed for blind and visually impared people that alerts from obstacles around with vibration motors distributed throughout the torso.
The Challenge
It has been shown that up to 80% of information necessary for life requires sight and many skills acquired for a person are obtained through this sense.
The WHO estimates that 246 million people suffer some kind of severe visual impairment and another 39 million are totally blind. These numbers are expected to grow in the next few years.
