creator Rodriguez, Tito creator Lima, Pedro creator Lu, Zhenlin creator Canales, Hernan eyeCan seeks to develop and prototype assistive devices that will enable the visually impaired to exercise independently. Initially, our efforts have been devoted to developing a device that will allow such individuals to swim independently which from a sighted person‟s perspective might not be perceived as an issue. From research we have found this not to be the case, for the visually impaired it‟s very difficult to swim without causing harm to themselves. With our product eyeSwim, we hope to improve the quality of life for visually impaired individuals by providing them with opportunity to exercise safely. Currently, eyeCan is in the process of researching other activities i.e. running, biking, climbing which may prove to be another opportunity for expanding the business‟ focus.
