ULTRACANE(r) Bat Inspired Walking Cane
The UltraCane is a new electronic mobility aid, designed to help people get around more easily and safely. The UltraCane was inspired by the way bats navigate in darkness. The cane uses ultrasonic signals which bounce off objects present in the environment and feed information back to the cane. This covers the areas in front and, uniquely, to the head height of the user.
