[IL-Talk] This gadget turns your white cane into a smart cane - COOL BLIND TECH

[Leslie Hamric]

Although this does sound like a neat device, one would have to wear something like aftershocks headphones so they could still hear their surroundings. My concern about such a device is the sound masking out traffic sounds or other important clues to navigate safely. Plus, the price. Way too expensive in my book. That's just my two pennies worth. I'd be open to try such a device  it  the opportunity presented itself. I probably wouldn't buy one, though. Thanks  for the information. It is neat to hear what's out there.
