WeWALK

The WeWALK smart cane contains a built-in ultrasonic sensor which allows it to detect obstacles above waist level such as low hanging tree branches, street signs, and lamp posts. It also has a built-in compass which allows the user to get accurate guided navigation when the user pairs their cane with the WeWALK app. The cane does not detect obstacles below waist level, so the user should have standard white cane training knowledge to detect ground level obstacles. The app and smart cane are designed for visually impaired people, by visually impaired people as part of the WeWALK team is either blind or visually impaired. The app and smart cane has undergone countless hours of testing by not only the WeWALK team, but by visually impaired users in the community to ensure that it is fit for purpose.
