The LSCM R&D Centre’s RFID Blind Cane Navigation System is currently being used in the main lobby and the first floor which provides audible guidance to the visually impaired so that they will be led to the destinations via the shortest route. The Centre also developed an RFID-enabled information kiosk which is placed at the entrance of the patients’ room. The kiosk provides audible information to the visually impaired patients, such as location, weather information, daily activity schedule, etc.
