Recently, household fires have increased and in these events, the risk of death for blind people is significantly high. Designed to assist a person who is visually impaired during the event of a fire, 'Ball' uses a multitude of sensors to aim at the danger zone automatically. Packaged inside the exterior casing lies a tracking system which, together with the sensors located around the room, pinpoints the fire source. The ball which protrudes out of the top of the device automatically rotates to locate and track the fire. A small speaker sounds an alarm if a fire is detected as well as providing clear instructions on what to do next.
