A blind engineer has developed a high-tech cane that helps visually impaired people get around using Google maps. The WeWalk uses built-in speakers, sensors, Google and a voice assistant to help them navigate an unfamiliar place on their own.
Kursat Ceylansays “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station, I don’t know which is my exit… I don’t know which bus is approaching… which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk.”
