iGlasses Ultrasonic Mobility with clear lenses
The iGlasses Ultrasonic Mobility Aid are glasses you wear and they vibrate if 
there are obstacles in the way.  

They cost $165.00 and are sold by Humanware. 

Objects in your path are detected by the ultrasonic sensors and communicated 
via gentle vibrations. As obstacles get nearer the frequency of the vibration 
will increase. The device is intended as a secondary mobility device to 
complement the traditional long cane or guide dog

The vibration intensity level can be fine tuned to suit your personal 
preference and your current environment
