About
What is the Mizuiro Clip?
This is a device for the visually impaired that can be easily attached to various containers, and it determines the amount of hot or cold water, seasonings, or other liquids (with a timer function up to 6 minutes), and also accurately determines and notifies the color of an object by pressing the tip against it, regardless of whether it is in a light or dark environment.

Liquid level detection function(with timer function)
When the clip portion is placed between a container and the liquid comes in contact with the lower part of the device, an alarm sounds to notify the user.
This is a useful function for pouring a drink into a cup or for filling a pan with water when cooking. Since it is also heat resistant, it can be used for pouring hot water into a cup of instant noodles.
After the alarm sounds, the timer function is automatically activated. The number of minutes elapsed is audibly announced every minute for a maximum of 6 minutes. This function is useful when preparing instant foods or others.

Buyer’s Voice
Regarding the color identification function
It helped me realize that there are so many colorful things around me. After I lost the ability to see, I sometimes thought that the world around me was only black or white, but just realizing that my belongings had colors that I used to love, like pink, light blue, and yellowish green, made me feel more positive.
I was under a lot of stress about having to rely on my mother to help me choose clothes when I went out because I didn't know what colors to wear. I was really happy that I could do it on my own.
I teared up because I experienced the liberation of not having to rely on others and the joy of being able to do things independently.
Regarding the liquid detection function
I no longer have to worry about getting burned.
Soup cups have a line at the bottom of the container for pouring hot water, and I could never pour the right amount, but now I can finally enjoy a delicious cup of soup.
I like to entertain visitors, but until now I could not make tea in front of guests because I could only detect the liquid with my fingers. However, this product made it possible for me to enjoy tea with my guests.
