This document discusses two innovations that help the blind - Live Braille, created by Abhinav S. Verma locally in India, and a car designed for blind drivers created by Dennis Hong globally. Both innovations use modern technology to improve accessibility for the blind. Live Braille is meant to be easily accessible, while Dennis Hong's car is more advanced but follows the principle of thinking globally and acting locally. Abhinav is a university student while Dennis Hong directs robotics at Virginia Tech.
