I really like Ms. Geeta's comment, "For an accomplished cane user, I think this device adds little value", because so far, whatever has been described about this device does not make it in anyway more advance than what we would expect it at this stage. The only great advantage could be that you won't have to use a stick. But that is not a problem for me. I love my stick. Any new device will be more meaningful only when it is able to give me proper discription of the obstical on time. I think one day, research in this direction would fulfill this expectation. Anyhow, these are my personal views; and that too without testing the device. So, congratulations for another step in that direction.
