This is how I use my cane as a registered blind man to navigate around outside.
I use an aluminium six section white cane from Ambutech, with a Marshmallow Tip. I do sometimes however use a Ball tip, as this helps to prevent those belly jabs!
Using a white cane to navigate around outside is just one of the mobility aids we cn use as a visually impaired person. It is important that you get proper Orientation and Mobility skills training, so that you can use the white cane safely and effectively.
the white cane provides lots of feedback through the handle, alerting us to the type of surface we are walking on, and also it will locate objects approximately two strides before we would otherwise walk into them.
This gives us enough room to then reposition ourselves and carry on our journey without hurting ourselves.
