I tried one of these through guide dogs.  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.

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
