[Blindtlk] Electronic mobility aids

[Mike Freeman]

My opinion is that, aside from GPS apps for the iPhone, no electronic aide
is worth what it costs. And one ends up paying more attention to the
electronic gizmo than to the ambient environment and this causes or
exacerbates more problems than it solves.

Hello list. I have some sad news regarding my guide dog. My hand is injured
because of something she caused and as a result she must go back for
evaluation. This means I'm back to the cane. I'm finding some difficulties
navigating my college campus. I keep bumping into people and upper body
obstacles. So I started researching some of the newer devices which can be
used with a cane such as the Ambutech glasses other similar products. Have
any of you tried any Of these devices? What are your opinions on them or
experiences with them? Thanks much!
Alyssa
