RE: Electronic Walking Stick - Electronic Walking Stick that can be seen for half a mile

in #steemhunt5 years ago

Come on, people!? Only one comment referencing light sabers! You have to see the similarity - and what a great addition the buzz of the light-saber would have for the blind. No problems finding their walking stick again.

I do admire the intent behind the tech. The blind are very vulnerable at night, where even high-visibility clothing is often ignored by drivers. So, a walking stick with lights would make the blind more visible.

But I have to agree with @elleok on the price - it's way too high for what is being provided. And I'm sure that's why their Indiegogo campaign is not taking off.

For something you can easily re-create with a strip of LED lights, using the walking stick they've already got, it's a bit of a stretch to ask $185. Which is a pity, because I do like the idea behind it.

Good hunting.
