👉 The Baskets project, initiated by the MIT Media Lab, is an innovative initiative focused on creating affordable, accessible, and sustainable assistive technology for people with disabilities. It aims to develop smart, wearable devices that can help individuals with mobility, vision, and cognitive impairments. These projects often integrate advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and flexible electronics to create intuitive interfaces and adaptive solutions. For example, Baskets has developed a smart cane that uses sensors and AI to provide real-time feedback and navigation assistance, enhancing independence and safety for users. The project emphasizes collaboration with users and experts in disability studies to ensure that the technology is not only functional but also user-friendly and culturally sensitive.
