I-Cane – improves mobility of blind and visually impaired people

Company's website: www.i-cane.org



The I-Cane is a white cane with two functions:

  1. Detect obstacles at height of head and warn by acoustic and tactile feedback
  2. Navigate pedestrian routes with the help of a smartphone. Commands like "go left", "go right" are translated into a tactile feedback, which you can feel with your thumb.
Sinux systems designed and set up the hardware interior, which consists of:

  • motor control for the tactile arrow feedback
  • sensor measurement and analysis for the obstacle avoidance detection
  • bluetooth chip integration for the communication with the iPhone app
  • micro controller selection and programming
Sinux systems developed a smartphone app for iPhone composed of:

  • A route recording engine to record routes during walking
  • A complete navigation engine design especially for the needs of visually impaired people, who have a very high demand for on-point instructions (deep GPS analysis with high accuracy results).
  • A Where-am-I function to help finding your current position translated into streetname + housenumber
The I-Cane makes use of an iPhone smartphone, which is already a very well equipped tool for visually impaired people with a lot of functionalities.
