I was told the mini guide was better, because you can change it between 1 2 or 3 metres, where as with the glasses, it's only 3 metres I think.

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 ....................................................
