Hi,
I've been using Smart cane developed by IIT Delhi and Saksham when it
was not even launched as a comercial product and has provided training
to many users. Here are my thoughts:
1. No smart cane has the capability to alert about pits or potholes; it
is tought when learning mobility to detect with the tip of your cane.
Hence, it is essential to learn mobility from some professionals so that
you can make the best use of your normal cane too.
2. Every device has some learning curve and so is the Smart cane! It
requires a little training about adjusting the sensors, holding the cane
the right way, and last but not the least, choosing the right "normal"
cane according to your hight and then fit the smart cane device so as to
enable it to detect the hanging or kne-head high objects with accuracy.
3. This device is not recommended in the crouded places but is quite
helpful generally. I can quote several use cases where I find it useful.
one such example is to use it to maintain the right distance from people
when in line such as in metro when buying the token or entering the gate.
4. This device can withstand the normal splashes of watter but is not
recommended in the heavy rains as it is not watterproof.
5. The device has two modes - Indoors and Outdoors. It is essential to
switch to the right mode according to your environment so as to make the
best use of the device. If you are indoors but device is set to outdoor
mode, it may provide unnecessary vibrations.
6. The device is not designed to detect vehicles but to detect object
which also includes cars. However, if the car is not directly in front
of the device, it may not detect it. The device can also alert you about
fast moving vehicles but that is not very reliable.
HTH.
Satguru.

The smartcane designed by IIT in India does help. It has good
obstacle detection and I have used it effectively in my former
office to navigate avoiding people and filing cabinets.

cane/torchit or not
Hey people,
Hope this message finds you in good health. Actually I want to
know whether smart cane or torchit actually help and worth
investing or are they overrated devices when it comes to
navigating. If former is the case then can anyone explain the
pros and cons of both devices and why should I choose one over
other? Actually cost I am aware of, but I want to know about
efficiency of both. Actually I am thinking about purchasing
one of them but confused over its worth and usage.
