The Jojo by Inga Paukšte-Urb is a navigation device that gives independence to the blind. It is meant to give them autonomy of movement in the big city. It features street navigation via GPS that feeds in the required information to the device. Jojo replicates a human voice and gives out instructions after collecting the data with the help of ultrasonic sensors. Apparently tourists can use it as a handy device as well.
