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.
