WeWalk Smart Cane

CATEGORY: PRODUCT & SOFTWARE

The clever combination of haptics, voice transmission, obstacle detection sensors connected to the places you go (waypoints & destinations), public tranport hubs and soon more via a compatible app. All optimized for visually impaired and blind people. https://wewalk.io/en/

The challenge of designing with haptics, voice, a sonic vocabulary (and maybe even some LEDs) leads to broad and deep interaction and meaning - especially when moving about. Put away your screens and leverage those other senses when crossing the street or hiking a new trail. More to come.
