‘Blindness is not just a medical condition but possesses the larger dimensions of social exclusion, stigma and neglect,’ said Dr Rohal Paul, who has played a key role in the development of the SmartCane. The device, which is detachable and can be fitted onto the handlebars of any bike, was designed by electronics engineer and entrepreneur Paul Clark. The UltraBike unit has sensors to give the rider constant directional feedback of obstacles ahead and at each side, via vibrating buttons beneath each thumb. The latest smart cane to hit the market is the aptly named SmartCane, from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi’s Assistive Technologies Group (AssisTech).Īccording to the World Health Organisation, 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide.Īlmost 90 per cent of these live in developing countries, with India home to the most, at 12 million.Īn ultrasound sensor kit could enable people with visual impairments to ride a bicycle independently. Ultrasound waves are sent out and, when they return to the cane, they vibrate on the relevant side of to warn of an obstacle ahead.ĭifferent patterns and intensities let the user know how far away an object is. The SmartCane mimics the capabilities of bats, using sonar to detect objects in the surrounding environment. It attaches to the top of a standard folding white cane, currently used by millions of visually impaired people across the globe.

Using sensors, the device detects obstructions up to a distance of 10ft (three metres). The SmartCane is designed to help users detect obstacles above knee-level and prevent accidents from occurring.
