Aids for blind people

My name is Flavio, I was born in '73.
I'm an electronic engineer with the passion for technology serving people.

Sixth Friend history started on 2008 when, speaking with my dear friend Chiaffredo, I asked him what I could I do to help blind people or people with limited eyesigth during their everyday life.
After this first interaction new ideas came up: some of them futuristic, others more achievable but still effective.

The friend group soon grew up in number and, thanks also to Letizia, Mario and Giulio, the first prototypes of portable aids were made..

The Buzzy Light is no more a prototype, it's produced in small series.

Special thanks to Franco, who helped me in the making of the Buzzy Light.
