Some amazing new gadgets were celebrated at the Remap Awards last week. Remap volunteers make one-off bits of equipment to help people with specific issues where there's nothing suitable on the market. Everything is provided completely free! This year's prizes went to the following projects:
A “vision system” that uses a VR headset and zoom camera to enable a registered blind man to watch the football
A wheelchair adapted to help its user to climb Mount Snowdon
A standing platform for a girl with dwarfism to reach her bathroom taps
A 3D-printed device to allow an amputee to use a rollator
A helping handle to allow a paraplegic man to get into his adapted car
A handrail which fits to the door of an ancient listed building
An ordinary chair fitted with wheels for use on a narrow boat.
What could Remap do for you?
