A Kazakh start-up helps the blind – through echolocation
Although bats can see, many species have evolved an unusual way to fly and hunt in the dark—echolocation. To do so, they emit ultrasonic sound waves that bounce off objects and navigate using the resulting echoes. Dolphins use a similar technique.
Meet Sezual, the Kazakh start-up bringing echolocation to the blind and visually impaired
Restoring the ability of the blind to see is the stuff of myth and science fiction, but one start-up from Kazakhstan hopes to be able to use technology to stimulate echolocation in humans, enabling the blind and visually impaired with the same kind of vision…
Tech breakthroughs highlight Kazakhstan’s growing links with Southeast Asia
Kazakh scientists recently made a breakthrough by creating a 3D visualization tool that helps blind people ‘see’. However, to take the technology to the next level, they are relying on Kazakhstan’s strong relations with Southeast Asia—and Singapore in particular.
