SONAR GLASSES by G-Technology Group are designed to increase mobility 
independence for the blind and visually impaired. They complement the 
white cane and guide dog by detecting obstacles above waist level (such 
as tree limbs, signs, walls, people, low ceilings, etc.).

SONAR GLASSES technology is based on echolocation, similar to the way 
bats navigate in the dark. The glasses emit sound waves and measure the
time to receive sound reflected by nearby objects.

Recommended use: this device is not intended to replace the white cane 
but to be used in combination with the cane or guide dog

Intended for: head and chest protection from overhanging obstacles such 
as tree branches and low ceilings
