[rehab] vibrating NFB cane

[Lansaw, Jane]

Yeah, this was a 50-50 cane that a guy in Baltimore invented.  *I heard
we were selling it for $200 but can't find it on the website.  It is
cool, has lots of possibilities for people who are deaf blind.

It seemed that the vibrating thing was something you put around your
neck. 
You then used a regular cane with it for those obstacles on the ground. 
That's what we had at research and development, but there may have been 
other things in other places.
