The intelligence is synchronized with a smartphone application, using Google maps and vibration to remind users when and where to turn to reach the final destination. < /p >
< p > users just tell the cell phone to go there and then leave the cell phone in their pocket, because the "Lechal" smart shoe can indicate the direction of the user's advance through the buzzing vibration of his left or right shoes. < /p >
< p > Ducere was founded in 2011. Its founder is two India engineers who have studied and worked in the United States. At present, the number of employees in Ducere has reached 50, and is headquartered in the city of India, < /p >

< p > although walking sticks can help visually impaired people detect obstacles, they can not tell them which way to go or when to turn. Laurence said: "so we are involved in filling this gap" /p
< p > according to the data of WHO, there are about 285 million visually impaired people in the world, most of them are in India. < /p >
< p > but when testing this smart shoe, < a href= "http:// www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > Ducere < /a > it is found that it can also help normal people. For example, jogger, mountain bike enthusiast and even tourists can set up their destinations before departure, so that they do not have to stop to check their phones frequently on the road, because the vibration of "Lechal" smart shoes will let them know when to turn. < /p >
< p > Laurence said that the smart shoes can also accurately record travel distance and consumption of heat. < /p >
< p > "Lechal" smart shoes and removable insoles are designed and developed in < a href= "http:// www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > India < /a >, but they are made in mainland China. Shoes and insoles are available in red or black at a price of $100 to $150. Laurence said the shoes and insoles will be landing at the designated stores in September this year. He said that the order of "Lechal" smart shoes has reached 25 thousand pairs, and it is expected to reach 100 thousand pairs by March next year. < /p >
< p > Laurence said that Ducere has been supported by three angel investors. The company is planning to refinance $4 million to $5 million for marketing its products. But he refused to reveal the names of angel investors or the amount of money they invested. < /p >
< p > Ducere also plans to cooperate with non-profit organizations and eyesight protection agencies to sell Lechal smart shoes to visually impaired people at preferential prices. < /p >
