Revolutionizing the Walking Cane: A Simple Design Gets a Hi-Tech Upgrade | Short Film Showcase

- Walking in a city can be like walking on a mine field for someone who is visually impaired. Traditional walking canes help detect obstacles on the ground, but what about obstacles that are higher? They present a different challenge-and one that SmartCane wants to tackle. Using ultrasonic ranging and vibration patterns, SmartCane serves as an enhancement to the classic walking cane by detecting dangling or above-knee-height obstacles. It creates spatial awareness and warns of possible contact with objects-and people-from a safe distance. This short film by Rintu Thomas and produced by Black Ticket Films and The Better India explores this powerful innovation.

What a great invention. This will surely help those that are blind immensely. Kudos to the designer for making something to help people that really need it.
people thinking and caring for other people.. this is what makes the world go round! awesome job smart ppl. keep it up!
As a disabled person myself I've realised that if you want to work in an industry with a lot of innovation, new ideas, and 'outside the box' thinking you should consider a career in developing products, technology, and services for those with physical disabilities,
yup, as crude as it sounds theres a lot of money to be made and its a stable market as the needs/wants dont change much at all.
+NE H yeah, I think they say disabled peoples spending power is one of the highest of any group of people. so there is money to be made, I mean, every time I get a new wheelchair because I want something above the normal basic chair it costs me a couple of thousand every time. Just wish I could spend a bigger chunk of that spending power lol.
Yeah, but there's a small chance your invention will become successful, and you need a team or someone to advertise or help your project.
Keep doing what you do Dr. Paul!! Innovation at its best, working together one life at a time!
This is absolutely wonderful.
BRILLIANT !!!!
Beautiful invention :)
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Dr. Rohan poul.
This is a really good video. Amazing. I liked!
Pretty cool!
Brilliant
Superb Sir!
interesting stuff!
While walking in a busy street or railway/bus station, it will vibrate again and again, so that can be a problem, any solution for this?
Can i convert simple cane into smart cane how? Can you guide me
Interesting, but I would rather use human echolocation rather than buying a fancy cane. Just look up the TED Talk by Daniel Kish.
Using MW radar would be better ?
captions please!
