Ok.
Been discussing this specific device with the one supplier in New Zealand,
and they've now gotten their mailing list going.
See the relevant content below since they're not really limiting it to
discussion of only one device.
Stay well

SonicVision - BAT Technology
A new list called SonicVision has been created for blind travelers who use a
K-Sonar, KASPA, Trisensor or
Sonic guide in their daily mobility. For these travellers, ultrasonic waves
provide an auditory feedback system
that supplies them with accurate spatial information about their immediate
environment.
By listening to different sounds reflected from their travel path, , a blind
person
can interpret spatial information about what is nearby, such as the texture
of an object and its precise distance.
By detecting and avoiding obstacles, a travel experience becomes more
interesting and safe.
The purpose of the list is to exchange information and tips on using
ultrasonic technology. . It is a forum
through which experienced travelers can help others make full use of
ultrasonics in daily mobility and to
share with others their wealth of expertise.
If you have an electronic travel aid or are interested in learning more
about using an ETA and would
like to join the list, visit
