Walking With An Independent Streak

The one thing that you will note about the folks who have some imparity is that they strive to be fiercely independent. To help them walk the streets without any assistance, we have here the Street Scanner. It is a device that works by sensing the objects around it. The sensors recognize objects that are distant and report it to the user via its interface.

The device provides feedback through voice and popup buttons and each of them works with 2 levels of heights that depict obstacles and indicate if they are moving or not. Overall, it’s a device that makes navigation easy and safer.
