[Electronics-talk] IGlasses ultrasonic mobility aid

[Annette Carr]

I recently had an opportunity to try out a pair of these glasses.  The
concept was really need.  While using my cane I was able to pinpoint where
door openings were, and could navigate around small groups of people without
having to tap them with my cane.  The place where I tried out the glasses
was a resource fair.  There were tables for the various vendor and community
services.  Only some of the tables had someone sitting at them.  With the
glasses on, I could figure out which tables were manned, and how many people
were at the table.  While I really liked what the glasses could do, I was
not impressed with how they looked.

I have since read about another product that works in a similar manner, but
you wear it pinned to your clothing.  I cannot remember the name of it.  I
think this product even had a couple more features than the glasses.
