Construction Industry Council’s ZCB (Zero Carbon Building) has been transformed into an experiential platform that promulgates awareness in Climate Change by displaying the latest Smart City technologies. The “Climate Change and My Smart City” Exhibition consists of four sub-themes namely Climate Change, Smart City & Sustainable Built Environment, Smart Living and Health and Well-being for promoting low carbon living in Hong Kong. The exhibition lasts from June to December 2017.
The LSCM R&D Centre takes part in the exhibition and showcases the “RFID Blind Cane Navigation System”. A RFID reader is embedded inside the smart blind cane. By reading the signals sending out from RFID tags installed inside the tactile paving, it can provide voice instructions to the user through smartphone. The system has won the Gold Medal in the 44th Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions.
At the opening ceremony on 9 June, Mr. Vincent Wong, Senior Project Manager from the LSCM R&D Centre delivered a presentation about “RFID Blind Cane Navigation System”.
