Techno Qat

Providing an alternative for the haabit of chewing Qat drug (catha edulis) in yemen using virtual reality.

We noticed that the addicts of Qat was affected by several factors when chewing Qat:

The sense of ecstasy gives the body energy and activity and shedding mind, feeling relaxed, physical feeling of chewing.
We have tried to solve this problem with an alternative to each factor as follows:
a perforated rubber ball and allows the saliva to enters to a capsule contains flavors like mint. This ball simulates the physical feeling of chewing Qat. Leading the addicted to relax, virtual reality (VR) can be used connected with an application via mobile. This application displays images of scenic nature, quiet sounds, aimed movies which achieves comfort And sensory integration and stimulate the cerebral veneer to expand thinking.

Due to the world orientation, the use of glasses will facilitate the entry of this technique for Yemen and its rapidly spread.

The problem we are trying to solve is the case of severe collective mania in the abuse of narcotic Qat plant by all categories of society. Qat cause alot of health essues because it sprayed with 300 kind Of internationally forbidden toxins and 400 kinds of harmful pesticides that spoil soil that can be used to cultivate other useful crops. These toxic substances cause 20,000 cases of cancers per year.

Another damage caused by Kat is occupying 58% of Yemen's agricultural spaces and consumes nearly 55% of the total water consumption in Yemen. The Yemeni capital (Sanaa) is expected to be the first capital of water in the world.

Based on many statistics, 90% of men, more than 50% of women and more than 20% of children under 12 using Qat daily. Qat is sold in Yemen expensive because of taxes. This affects the living situation of the addicts significantly, The addict spends two-thirds of his salary in Qat. The problems in his life increase because of financial and debt stresses that are negatively affect his social life. Qat can lead to serious health problems.
We provided this solution to help people skip these problems and obstacles through the rubber ball industry and be cheap and does not cause any diseases.

It is obvious that the addicts of Qat have alot of problems financially and some health issues. when the addict is using Qat he becomes disengaged that pushed us to think of a solution for this problem.

we haven't test the method yet. we are trying to build a model of the ball and creat the app. 

This project primarily relies on the use of VR glasses and a phone application that projects  various videos of nature purpose movies.

Reports suggest that 20 million people world wide are regularly using Qat. we are planing to serve at least 5 million people in one year.

In yemen Qat drug is expensive due to high taxes, but the people don't quite buying it even poor once  we are trying to make a difference in the live's of people by offering an alternative

we are from gonc club working with hadramout foundation for invention and advancement science. they help us in provide us consulting.
