blindspot


Blind Spot is an assistive bright white cane for visually handicapped people. It allows them to be informed of a friend or family nearby and be able to actively meet them. The location of their friends can be abstracted from popular geographical-based social apps, such as Foursquare, and communicated through the Bluetooth earpiece connected to the cane. Visually handicapped users are able to be guided towards their friends with the combination of the in-built ultrasonic sensor that detects hanging objects and gives forewarning of ground obstacles, and a tactile GPS navigator that points to the exact direction to walk towards the destination.
