5. Product Vision
• Who is the target customer?
• Deaf and blind people.
• It is estimated that deaf-blind population is about 300,000 in US
alone.
• THE GOAL: to develop a low cost, light weight enhanced mobility
cane to allow navigation through the surrounding environment
at minimal risk as possible.

6. How is it different?
• Previous electronic canes targeted only blind people
where as we are focusing on blind and DEAF people.
• Vibration feedback instead of audio.

7. How it works?

8. Future work
• Drop-off detection
Blind people have very big problem with
detecting drop offs.
