Hi-tech mobility for the blind and visually impaired! Ray was designed to
provide
a handheld, lightweight and compact supplement to traditional canes for the
blind.*
It is a small, extremely sensitive electronic mobility aid that senses
obstacles
and alerts the user by emitting audible or vibrating signals (or both.) Ray
features
easy 2-button operation and is so compact that it can fit in the palm of
your hand.
Using an ultrasonic emission similar to the cone of light of a flashlight,
Ray can
recognize obstacles up to a distance of 9.35 feet (2.85 meters) away and
announce
them to the user via an audible or vibrating signal.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: Ray is intended as a complement to traditional canes for
the blind,
not as a replacement. While Ray recognizes obstacles in your path, it cannot
detect
drop-offs such as curbs.
A special Escape mode enables the user to locate small gaps such as door
entrances
or passageways through a crowd of people (again the user can choose between
audible
or tactile feedback.)
Ray is incredibly compact (4.72” long by 1.1” wide and only ¾” thick) and
ultra lightweight
at only 2.1 oz. It fits easily in your hand when in use, and slides into
almost any
pocket for fast storage. Or wear it around your neck using the included
lanyard so
it’s always at your fingertips when you need it.
