Raphael Mwachiti, a student at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa, has won the Canadian Ryerson Sandbox Basecamp prize for his innovation to assist visually impaired people, awarding him a grant of Cdn $5,000 and specialist professional advice to help advance his start-up. Raphael created a solution that uses technology to detect objects within eight metres of the user. Once the object is detected, the device uses haptic feedback, or vibrations, as well as audio feedback to alert the user.
