Honda introduces “Ashirase”, an in-shoe navigation system that makes walking safer and less stressful for the visually impaired.
The navigation system works with the help of a smartphone app and a vibration device equipped with a motion sensor.

The direction of the vibration depends on the direction the user is supposed to take.
