LiDAR sensors

Two LiDAR distance sensors detect obstacles at head height and waist height.

Removable case

Thanks to an ingenious system, the product can be attached directly to an existing rod, allowing the user not to have to change his bearings. In addition, the device can be detached from its support, which makes it very easy to recharge.

Haptic
feedback

Thanks to its powerful vibrating motor and low
consumption, the user feels the vibrations
directly on his thumb. The frequency of these
is modulated according to the distance from
the obstacle.
