hi adrien,
there is a product that is about to be launched called the buzz clip
that might work for you.
it can be hung around your neck or clipped on to your clothing and to
make sure you retain contact to it it has a sprung loaded vibration pad
so for example if you clipped it on your shirt the device would be
outside your shirt with the spring and vibration pad inside your shirt
so if you lent forward and the shirt loosened the spring would extend so
the vibration pad kept contact with you.
it has a couple of different distance detection settings to choose from.
it can be pre-ordered at the following url and they expect to ship by
mid june:

Hi
I am in a wheelchair and am visually impaired, I am looking for a device
that will alert me if i am about to crash into something, I know there are
gadgets for walking visually impaired but am looking for something that
will help me from knee high. I have a brain injury and it only takes a
second for me to lose concentration and i hit a door or a wall or another
person. Something to alert me would be useful. I know the technology is out
there but it is finding it in a form I can use. any ideas please guys?
Regards
Adrien
