The WerterlOberfell 'Sense Five' smart white cane is an intelligent navigation solution that will work to support those with visual impairments to help them better get around their city or town. The cane works by being used like a conventional white cane and will provide feedback for users who are navigating their way through city streets. The integrated handle covering will relay different information to the user through texture and alert them when there may be cars or obstacles they need to avoid.
The WerterlOberfell 'Sense Five' smart white cane also features a series of low-energy LEDs in the handle that will automatically activate in the dark to help users stay visible to motorists and cyclists alike for an enhanced sense of safety.
