Jez Brandon has helped blind people play archery and now wants to help save lives on the road
Jez Brandon, a 70 year-old scientist from Mossley Hill , has previously created a remote controlled sound beacon to help blind people navigate their way around. Jez has also made stereo headphones which enabled blind people to play archery, with beeps telling them where to fire depending on the pitch of the beep and which ear the beep is being played in.
“You might have yourself experienced hearing an emergency vehicle and not heard where it’s coming from. I was quite moved to develop this system.” According to Directional Sirens website, there are around 25,115 serious injuries and 2,730 fatalities every five years involving emergency service vehicles and members of the public in the UK, USA and Canada.
This will quicken the speed at which other drivers get out of the way of emergency vehicles, reducing road collisions and allowing police, ambulances and fire trucks to get to the scene of an incident faster. After years of testing, Jez has manufacturers who are interested in making more of the sirens, who will then sell them onto the emergency services.
