With the help of a smarthone and the blinput system a visually impaired person wearing a smartphone around their neck with the camera facing out and a pair of headphones that would produce audio in 3D will use their hands to "navigate". The smartphone’s camera gathers context relevant information that would then be relayed to the user through a pair of headphones. The interface allows them to interact with devices such as vending or ticket machines that are embedded with RFID or Bluetooth and shops can install beacons to help find articles.

Smartphones help blind people navigate
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.
