20-year-old Nigerian inventor builds AI smart glasses to help blind people navigate
- A 20-year-old Nigerian inventor Khalifa Aminu from Kano built AI smart glasses to help blind people detect obstacles and navigate.
- The glasses send a user's location to a caregiver via WhatsApp or email if lost, with a voice version under development.
- The idea came from seeing visually impaired people in Kano struggle with mobility, with a prototype tested by a local man.
- Nigeria's disability commission expressed interest in Aminu's device in 2024, with the Kano Patriotic Front sponsoring his work.
