Are we talking about devices like the Mini-guide? I have used this, actually 
really like it. It takes some getting use to, but its helpful for the 
deafblind. Espically because I ccan't traffic, or hear students standing in 
the way. But no itwon't tell you if a seat is occupied or not. Wish it was 
that good.
