Dear raju,
You heard it right! Smartcane can indeed detect stuff much before the
collision and can warn you in advance using different vibration paterns
conveying your distance from the obstacle so as to enable you to take a
corrective action. However, the product is in its developmental stage and is
currently undergoing the final validation trials in different cities of
India. The Smartcane device is jointly being developed by Indian Institute
of Technology Delhi, Saksham Trust Delhi, and Phoenix Medical Systems
Chennai. We are almost done with the validation trials and the product
should be available in the market by early 2014. For updates on the same,
please get in touch with Saksham Trust helpline on: 01164650655
For any queries or doubts, please feel free to write to me at

Subject: [AI] smart cane
Respected sirs,
After listening the todays episode of najar yaa najjariya, I am also curious
to know that does those type of smart cane are available in any dealers in
India like saksham for sell? I felt It was really intresting and important
device at least for me cause I use my normal cane on a regular basis
wherever I want to go like colleges, markets, etc and here in our town,
there is no any facilities for public buses, auto rikshaw, etc, so that we
have to use our foot wherever we want to go. Cause the place I am residing
is the hill area, so that we have to face lots of obstacles like irregular
steps, large drain, etc to reach our destination. Although I am quite
comfortable with my normal stick, but some one has describe in this episode
that this type of sticks consists of such special senser which helps us to
detect such obstacles earlier. And it was really amazing. I also wanted to
purchase those stick if available.
Thanks in advance!
