Picture of SENTIRE WALKING CANE -------- PROTOTYPE --------- PURPOSE: To design a prototype of a walking cane for individuals who are blind or have low vision. The Sentire walking cane is the result of a study of visually impaired users' preference between various tools for mobility, including the standard cane and the guide dog. The Sentire merges the advantages of each type of mobility tool. Its design features a carbon fiber body for reduced weight and extended life as well as enhanced ergonomics for a truly custom feel. By fine tuning these small details, the user can experience comfort and added safety to this everyday necessity for those who are blind or have low vision.
