The Ultracane uses ultrasonic sensors in thehead of the cane and under your thumb, there are 2 vibrating buttons, one to inform you of obsticles at waist level or below, and the other one is for obsticles which are at head height and above.

I have a bat cane and I do think that it's a very good device that made my movement quite a lot easier. The only thing with the bat cane that it's badly manufactured. Lets hope that this one is manufactured properly as it were and soled at a more affordable price.Cheers, Amro----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Beasley" <pjbeasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 3:30 PMSubject: [access-uk] Revolutionary white cane for the visually impairedThis sounds very much like the old batcane with the addition of being to identify certain coloursFrom: Red Wolf http://us.aving.net/news/view.php?articleId 0585Primpo to introduce 'Isonic', its revolutionary white cane for thevisually impaired [ Joshua 2010-03-22 ]SEOUL, Korea (AVING Special Report on 'Hong Kong Electronics Fair 2010') -- <Visual News> Primpo Co., Ltd. (CEO Jai Kim, www.primpo.com)will introduce its revolutionary new cane product for the visuallyimpaired, "Isonic", at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair, to be held for fourdays from April 13 to 16, 2010. The company will participate in theexhibition as part of a project initiated by the district administrationof Gangnam-gu, to assist Korean firms in their overseas marketing activities. Unlike conventional white canes, with which a user can not detect obstacles above waist height, the "Isonic" model can detect obstacleswithin a range of 25 degrees horizontally and 50 degrees vertically withan integrated supersonic sensor.The product can also detect obstacles within a distance of 2 meters, as well as very slim objects, narrower than 3cm. With decreasing distance to an object, the cane's vibrating indicator sends a stronger signal tothe user, pinpointing the location of the obstacle. A feature to inform a visually impaired user of an object's color draws special attention. With a color sensor attached, the user isinformed by voice messages of 10 detectable colors and their brightness,including red, orange and blue. Field tests conducted with 15 people in September of 2009 yielded very satisfying results.The CEO of Primpo, Jai Kim, said, "The ultimate functionality of the "Isonic" is to allow the visually impaired to move around freely without having to rely on a conventional cane. Prior to developing this product,we conducted a survey with more than 600 handicapped students and teachers. Among others, the color indication feature drew the most attention."__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4970 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4970 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4971 (20100324) __________The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
