    JA team create product to help the visually impaired

    A Junior Achievement team has pitched their product to Manx Care and CEO of Sight Matters.

    Creed, made up of Ballakermeen students Krishna Ramesh, Ben Thomas and Miltos Provatakis, have designed a prototype to help those with visual impairments.

    The Sensoguard glove uses sensors to detect objects in the environment and send signals to the fingertips which will vibrate. 

    Representatives from Manx Care and Sight Matters say they were very impressed by the team's idea.
