Client Information

People with low vision sometimes use the help of a sighted person to get around or to do activities like running for example. However because of COVID, now people need to be physically distant and this system doesn’t work. Your task is to create a cane that 2 people can hold onto for guidance and be physically distant at the same time. It should be light and be collapsible for easy storage.

Past attempts

There is an existing company, Traveleyes, that created a similar cane however it is too expensive for many to afford. https://www.traveleyes-international.com/product/companion-cane/
