An onboard camera that sees the path ahead — detecting obstacles and hazards, speaking them aloud and guiding the user with GPS for confident, independent mobility.
Enquire About This ProductThe Internet of Things has had a meaningful impact in the lives of people with disabilities — particularly the blind. The smart stick is a connected device that uses an onboard camera and sensors to help visually impaired users navigate their surroundings, giving them greater independence and mobility.
Sensors at the tip of the stick detect obstacles in the user's path; when one is found, the stick vibrates to warn of the potential danger, with the vibration also helping convey how close it is. The onboard camera recognises objects ahead and provides an audio description, while GPS pinpoints the user's location and gives directions to their destination — especially helpful in unfamiliar places.
The benefits are clear: greater independence and mobility, and a real reduction in the risk of accidents as the user is alerted to hazards ahead. As with any connected device, the data it collects is handled securely, keeping the user's location and information protected.
