[Blind-Rollers] Smart cane

[Becky Frankeberger]

Yes, I spoke with him. He is in a holding pattern as the Veterans Administration might be buying his cane. I still think this one would be great for us in a wheelchair. The phone is on a bracket attached to the cane. 

He wants to do presentations but he is waiting for approval.

Sorry, 
Becky

This sounds so much easier to move in front of us, plus the detection of objects using vibrations. The wheel is omnidirectional, so usable by anyone using a manual, or power chair as well I should think a walker. His name is Brian.
