Light Cane

In 2017, our client Debbie, a visually impaired person, got hit by a car as she was crossing the road at night. Based on this incident, VIPs (Visually Impaired People) are hard to be distinguished from other people travelling at night. Road safety, better mobility and the independency of VIPs can be improved with this product. While there are canes that already exist (made by IDE), our task is to examine, analyse, and evaluate prototypes and execute a new iteration. This iteration should result in a prototype which can be tested by visually impaired persons, a period for which should be at least a week. 

Sub problems:
How to moisture proof the electronics
How to make the cane shorter when “undeployed”
