CurrentWeWALK is a revolutionary smart cane developed for the visually impaired.WeWALK attaches to the traditional white cane, transforming it into an innovative smart cane. This technology increases visually impaired people’s independence and promotes full-participation in society via three of its features.1. Detects Obstacles: WeWALK detects obstacles above chest level with an ultrasonic sensor and vibrates when these objects are near.2. Paired with Phone: When paired with the WeWALK mobile application via Bluetooth, the user can use applications with WeWALK’s touchpad, without holding his or her phone. For example, the user can request rides and get navigation on the WeWALK device.3. Evolves with Integrations: WeWALK is currently integrated with "Call Management" and "Google Maps". In 2018, WeWALK will be integrated with Voice Assistant, Uber and Lyft. These new integration features are installed through periodic software updates.
