Soonjae Kwon uses sound, auditory functions and Braille to allow he
blind with the independence to serve as productive members of he
society. In the U.S. alone, there are over ten millions people who
have lost their sight or who suffer from severely lowered vision. The
number of blind people is increasing at an alarming rate and a high
percentage of them are seniors. However, public spaces are still not
equipped with enough supportive infrastructure to allow the
non-sighted part of the population to serve as regular members of the
society. The Sonicane 2.0 Ultimate Sound GPS for Device looks to
ensure social equality to the blind.
