They have invented an AI cane for the visually impaired. Where most canes rely on lidar or other sensory technology, their cane is guided by a camera with multiple levels of AI directing it.

The two are very close to having a prototype ready, but their journey into the business world is already over half a decade in the making.

This past year, they took part in a cohort for the Baton Rouge Young Entrepreneur's Academy. They worked with developers, mentors, CEO's and more to refine their business.
