Arman Ghodousi is
an inquisitive scientist with a passion for solving real-world problems with
simple, practical, and creative scientific solutions. In 2013, Arman decided
to
pursue his own passion and launched a technology company to bridge the gap
between high-tech laboratory research and the needs of undeserved
populations.
Even prior to launch of the company, he noticed that the disabled population
had limited cost-effective technological innovations geared toward mobility
independence. Blind people in particular had no means of protecting their
upper body from overhanging objects such as tree branches and low ceilings.
The launch of this company provided a suitable platform for him to provide a
cost-effective solution to help blind people avoid running into overhanging
obstacles, which resulted in our first product, Sonar Glasses.
Sonar Glasses are designed to increase mobility independence for the blind
and
visually impaired. They complement the white cane and guide dog by detecting
obstacles above waist level (such as tree limbs, signs, walls, people, low
ceilings,
etc.). The technology is based on echolocation, similar to the way bats
navigate
in the dark. The glasses emit sound waves and measure the time to receive
sound reflected by nearby objects.
The glasses have been presented at the NFB Maryland, Virginia and DC
conventions.

Subject: [aw-announcements] G-Sonar Glasses for blind persons
One question which came up after our speaker left the room yesterday
concerned the
appearance of the g-sonar glasses. I wrote to a representative of the
company about this and
here is her answer.
Bob Acosta
Robert,
They look like a solid pair of glasses. The difference is that in front of
the left ear there is a small
rectangle where the battery is stored. On the left side there is another
small rectangle that where
the batteries are stored. There is also a sensor in the center of the
glasses but it just looks like
part of the design. If you would like more information about the design and
price you can email
Jeff Shad at jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Nichole's email address is nsullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Thank you for your time and it was an honor to be presented on your show!
Maggie
