SmartCane

Smart Cane device-raysSmartcane device is an electronic travel aid which fits as handle of the white cane. As white cane can only detect obstacles up to knee height, Smartcane compliments its functionality by detecting obstacles from knee to head height. It detects obstacles using sonic waves and the presence of obstacles is conveyed through intuitive vibratory patterns. It is powered using rechargeable Li–ion battery like cell phone and can be used in both indoor and outdoor navigation modes. It has been designed to accommodate varying types of user grips which are commonly used by visually challenged.

  • Ergonomic grip for comfortable holding and cane tapping: Can be held by different gripping styles, allowing users to use their natural cane holding and mobility techniques.
  • Adjustable detection range: User can switch between long (3 metre) and short (1.8 metre) range mode depending on the usage scenarios such as outdoor, indoor or crowded places.
  • High detection sensitivity: The sensors can detect a 3 centimetre wide pipe from 3 metres distance, ensuring reliable detection of objects in the detection range.
  • Four intuitive and distinctive vibration patterns indicating obstacle distance.
  • Vibrations are uniformly produced on the entire grip: Non-localized vibration feedback allows user to conveniently grip the device.
  • Does not interfere with the auditory environment surrounding the user Vibrations allow discreet continuous use without making the user conscious or creating annoyance to others
  • Adjustable sensor orientation: Allows people of different heights and with different cane holding styles to direct the sensors appropriately.
  • In-built rechargeable battery with a long battery back-up: Easy charging like a cell phone. Removing of batteries for charging is not required.
  • Fully accessible user interface: Simple and distinguishable beeps to convey the battery charge status, low battery warning and charging status.
