'Qibla' is a smart watch that helps the blind Muslim's daily rituals. It tells the direction of Mecca and the position of the sun. Muslims pray five times a day to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. 'Qibla' explains the direction of Mecca through tactile sense as well as visual information, so blind Muslims can find out the right direction for pray. It is also useful during Ramadan. Ramadan is a religious rite in which people fast for a month of September in the Muslim calendar. They fast from sunrise to sunset and they can eat food after sunset. For this the gold band represents the position of the sun from the user's location.
