The
Eye Stick reinvents the traditional cane! It removes the inconveniences
caused by a traditional cane for the blind and replaces it with
scientifically enhanced saber-like device. Its designed not to be very
long and uses rays and ultrasonic sensors to determine distance
measurement, and thus help the sight impaired to navigate their
surroundings safely.
“Eye
Stick reinvents the traditional cane. It uses ultrasonic waves to
reliably measure distance, unaffected by rain, fog, or other climate
problems. Projected light is used to prevent collisions with other
pedestrians. The ultrasonic system delivers information about hazards
such as barriers and changes in floor level, detecting them in advance.
Eye Stick also offers another function. It can obtain information about
products, for example, by automatically scanning barcodes through a
camera. The information is sent through a Bluetooth connection and
converted to voice.”
The Eye Stick is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.
