SMART TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE FOR THE VISUALLY-IMPAIRED IN HO CHI MINH CITY

On the morning of June 26, 2023, in Ho Chi Minh City, representatives from MSD Vietnam, United Way Worldwide, and Shinhan Financial Group Hope Foundation participated in a technology application experience to support visually impaired individuals. This activity was part of the Shinhan Future Solution project – Shinhan Square Bridge Vietnam 2022.

The G-EYE+ application is a visually impaired-friendly technology developed by LBStech, a startup partner of the Shinhan Square Bridge Vietnam 2022 project, aimed at providing convenient conditions for visually impaired individuals to navigate and shop with the assistance of the G-EYE+ application. The G-EYE+ application experience took place at Grandma Lu Thái Văn Lung Bakery and Edu Mart Supermarket at 45 Đinh Tiên Hoàng Street. Visually impaired individuals had the opportunity to conveniently place orders using the G-EYE+ application on their phones, and the orders would be sent directly to the Airorder receiving application. This is a promising technological application that actively promotes the integration of visually impaired individuals into the community.
