Torch

Medical: Instruments
Verder geen zinsverband. Het is een voorziening voor blinden/slechtzienden die bij een toeristische attractie wordt aangeboden. Zou het mogelijk een blindenstok kunnen zijn?

Selected
(zak)lamp
Is het een toeristische attractie die (deels) binnen of in het (schemer)donker is? Meestal is een torch een zaklamp (of een toorts - minder logisch voor blinden en slechtzienden).

: Torch/flashlight = zaklamp. Om in het donker hun weg te vinden zijn slechtzienden soms geholpen met een zaklamp

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 3.4 million Americans aged 40 and older are legally blind or visually impaired. By 2030, that number is expected to rise to 6 million as more baby boomers develop diabetes and age-related disease. The CDC also notes that vision loss is among the top 10 causes of disability in the U.S., and vision impairment is one of the most prevalent disabilities in children. The white cane is a tool commonly used among this population that helps them navigate through surroundings. Even though the cane has been used for centuries, it still isn’t perfect. Several individuals have set out to create a better piece of assistive technology to aide these individuals. One of these is a new type of sensor called the Enactive Torch, which aims to help individuals better “see” these objects in front of them.
As the first device of its kind, the Enactive Torch looks like a large remote control connected by wire to a wristband. It works similarly to a white cane. However, it is dissimilar because it does not need to touch anything to inform the user that there’s an obstacle in his or her way. Instead, it uses infrared sensors to detect objects in front of it. When it detects an object, it sends a signal to the wristband to vibrate, and the closer it comes to an object, the more intense the vibration.

: Interessante mogelijkheid. / Mooie uitvindingen allemaal, zo'n ouderwetse zaklamp - afgezien van het feit of een blinde of slechtziende daar überhaupt ook maar iets aan heeft - valt daarbij in het niet :-).

Precies wat je zegt. Microsoft is bezig met een smart headband http://tinyurl.com/q97r7uc en er zijn meer initiatieven op dit gebied. Een blinde een zaklamp geven lijkt me een kwajongensstreek. :-) Zonder verdere (Engelse) context komen we er niet.
