    They will no longer need a guide because an entirely new aiding device has been developed, which will improve their performance while simultaneously lowering their reliance on others. Moreover, it is anticipated that the suggested solution will also be improving the quality of their life.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    People with poor vision may engage in less physical activity as a result of their reduced vision. They are frustrated by their total reliance on a guide for their training. Research through different sources also validates that how lack of independence effects their running performance.
