Satellite Navigation for elderly shoppers to find their way around in supermarkets
Have you ever got lost in a really big size supermarket and wished you had a GPS to find your way around. Well scientists are working on a device which works like a car navigation system that will help elderly and physically challenged people in supermarkets. Oh! I guess I forgot to mention that you should be old enough for such a device. This is a part of government-funded research at three centers, mainly Newcastle, Aberdeen and Nottingham universities. The sat nav shopping device more likely will be used as a global positioning system and the latest mobile phone coordinates. Newcastle University is already testing a gadget for dementia patients so that they can be tracked if they lose their way. Let’s hope they get something like that for us youngsters too so we don’t have to remember so many things!
