Following the untimely death of a visually impaired relative that could've been avoided, Honda EV-engineer Wataru Chino began working on the 'Ashirase': a device integrated into a wearer's shoes that uses haptic vibrations to guide them as they move. Honda even helped to incubate the design, building the startup through its new business incubation initiative, IGNITION.
