The voice assistant smart watch by INTEC has great implications for accessibility, in particular for people who live with visual impairments. The name of the product is VOICE GRUS and the designers are funding it through a Kickstarter campaign.
The voice activation for the timepiece can be toggled via push buttons on the side of the body. By pressing them, users can unlock a variety of voice options. For example, the VOICE GRUS can "narrate out the time, the date, the weather, or even tell you if the room you’re in is lit up or dark."
Additionally, the innovative voice assistant smart watch by INTEC has six language capabilities, as well as a GPS module that allows for the timepiece to "automatically correct the time to match the time zone you’re in."
