Electrical engineering majors Gabriel Habech and Michael Romano wanted to make a difference through entrepreneurship.
“When Gabriel and I met at FIU, we immediately began to talk about various business ideas that would allow us to implement our engineering knowledge to solve a critical social problem,” said Romano.
During a winter break visit to his hometown in Brazil, Habech reconnected with a family friend who was visually impaired and described his difficulty navigating unfamiliar places and the problem of colliding with people and things in his path.
The friend's story inspired Habech and Romano to create BeyondSight, which consists of smart glasses and a special belt that together provide the wearer with the location, height and distances of nearby objects. The tech relies on AI and haptic feedback – the use of vibrations or motions to create an experience of touch for a user - to guide the individual with visual impairment as they moving through their surroundings. Habech and Romano say there is no other device like BeyondSight on the market for visually impaired.
“We’ve created a prototype, which we are continuously testing with the blind community,” said Habech. “We’re excited to share our innovation to improve the lives of the visually impaired around the world, enhancing their safety and independence.”
The two students have spent the last few months working closely with StartUP FIU mentors Emily Gresham and Robert Hacker to perfect their pitch for eMerge and make improvements to their invention.
“The advice and mentorship we’ve received from StartUP FIU has been critical in helping us gather the data we need and prepare for BeyondSight’s next steps,” said Michael. “We are thrilled to share our innovation at eMerge and generate more awareness of this game-changing technology.”
A little photo project, looking at photos I did years ago and then revisiting the same spot, trying to recreate the same image!

Tonight I decided to test the top contenders for my wedding lipstick. For my fellow makeup nerds: the top row is Makeup Forever Matte #8. The middle row is MAC Russian Red. The bottom row is MAC Ruby Woo. I realized when uploading the photos that the difference between them in this horrific lighting is pretty much imperceptible. I swear, you can notice the difference in real life!

Being different is being part of it...
Being different is being apart...
Being yourself is being different...

Yesterday there was sunshine
Today there is rain.
But I still have the sun in my curry plant flowers.

ETA: Is Shakespeare's Globe to theatre what Darlington Raceway is to NASCAR? Hmm...is that a philisophical diptych?
I should have used a tripod for this one and no flash. Oh well. This is what happens when you're trying to do this on the fly when a race is on telly.
Contrary to what you may think, both cups are filled with PG tips tea! And now I must drink them both :)

To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.

The World of Difference is a gala held each fall to honor alumni and friends who give to the Gillings School and to celebrate the professors, students and programs that benefit from this generosity. We chose the name of this event to show how support for the Gillings School’s people and programs makes a “World of Difference” in many ways — scholarships that allow promising students to complete professional degrees, professorships that undergird valuable research and teaching by our faculty members, and operational funds that empower us to take on special projects and meet pressing needs. Thank you all!
