Imagine a white cane that can detect obstacles above it, give you turn-by-turn directions, and even tell you when the next bus is due and, once you are on the bus, when your stop is. The WeWalk is a SmartCane App that can do all these things. We were joined by Joe Alfonso and Ogulcan Baskan from WeWalk, who talked us through the canes features.
For a limited time, viewers can get 20% off a WeWalk Cane using the offer code suttonvision20, which expires on 15 October 2022.
