Hi -- I heard of some device called the Traveller that does something like
that, but I have pisplaced the email. I think people were discussing it on
the nfb-talk list. If you are not subscribed you can subscribe by going to
the website www.nfbnet.org and clicking on the link for the mailing lists.
There are several dozen lists to choose from, and the one where they discuss
mobility aids is nfb-talk.
Good luck and if I find the article in my saved mail files I'll forward it.

Subject: [guispeak] handheld guiding aids
Good morning George and company.
I am searching very hard for a handheld device, looking much like a small
flashlight, used to detect objects ahead as one walks. Those I have either
seen in years past or have heard of typically vibrate and/or produce a
variable pitched beep to tell the user when a pole, parking meter and the
like is coming up. I hope to find something in North America but, if
necessary would buy elsewhere if nothing is available here.
If anyone knows of anything, company names, phone numbers or e-mail
addresses, whatever, I'd be very grateful to have the info. I have been
unable to find anything in the U.S. or Canada although some sensors like
these must exist somewhere.
Thanks to everyone.
Jerry
