--------------------------------------------
I got nerd sniped by a great comment in a previous video. The idea was to make some kind of device to let blind people perceive their surroundings. The specific suggestion was to make some kind of a vest. Ultimately I ended up making an iPad case that uses the sensors in the iPad to perceive the surroundings and communicates through tactile feedback via a special hand grip. It was a fun project and turned out pretty neat.

Father to a blind son 6yrs old, turned blind 1,5yrs ago. He “watches” (listens) to his iPad regularly. Have been following your channel but this one I had missed, came up as a recommendation. People like you (and your supporting wife) gives me and my family hope that with tech everything is possible! And to all of you saying that a cane still is better, no, not to a kid that also wants cool tech! Thank you!

[@Casper-Ghost]

The "cool tech" is still objectively worse though and puts the user in danger. Laser and sonic canes like this have been around since the 80's but they quit making them because there was no way to make it safe enough for independent travel so the user would need someone with them for safety. I've used one before and it was impossible to detect the end of ramps or driveway seams because the laser and the tactile rotor simply can't convey that minute level of detail that a white cane gives through tactile and auditory information. Not to mention that you have to be intently focused on the cane at all times since it can't stop you from running into things so you have to focus and rely on your reflexes whereas with the white cane you can comfortably walk like any sighty if your trained. It's just not safe, especially for a child, that's why nobody uses them.

[@harryf9885]

@@Casper-Ghost I understand where you are coming from, though I think that just because something couldn’t work in the past doesn’t mean it can’t work now. The technology has improved a lot. Especially if it’s designed with input from the people who will actually be using it, unlike the device in this video, which is more of a proof of concept. For example, the way I would change this device based on what you said is to make it a glove for your non-dominant hand (other options are a vest, bracelet, or even a phone case, as is suggested in the video) so that it could be used in conjunction with a cane. The idea being that you get the best of both worlds, the device can give you some idea of what is up ahead and you could use the cane to maneuver through it more precisely. The real question about the value of the device in my opinion is cost, especially if it has to have its own LIDAR. The cost will come down eventually but there may be other options by the time it does.

You should combine the tactile feedback into a walking stick. This idea is good for big objects but people can easily trip over curbs or small objects and bumps on the road. Blind people will still want a walking stick to sweep, it'd be good if they had a further "sight" to improve distance.

[@davidneufeld26]

Dude, I sponsored several engineering student teams to do something similar to this 10 years ago. I stuck with an array of tactors (pancake motors) spaced 2-point-discrmination distance apart, and gave each tactor 3 bits of "depth" using PWM and current control. Note that a typical vibrotactile response scopes to only 8 JNDs (Just Notable Difference) so 3 bit depth just about covers what we can hapticly perceive. My initial designs were like yours, which morphed into a different form factor. According to my physiology research, I figured I could get a 64 tactor array. Not much but my form factor theoretically pushed the performance of that significantly. Sadly, this is one of my main back-burner projects that has not yet completed to a decent prototype stage. Sigh.

[@WrexShepard]

Rexus King his current style of videos are highly inspired by “Mark Rober” Although he kind of makes even mark look like an amateur. This dudes early videos where straight up “This old Tony” knockoffs, so if you liked their style, go check him out too. He seems to be kind of developing into a hybrid of these 2 channels, primarily. If you watch those 2 channels you’ll see very quickly his influences. He also is vaguely similar to “Micheal Reeves” and “William Osman”. Although he’s far more competent and serious than them.

[@RexusKing]

@@WrexShepard I already subbed to all four of the channels you mentioned! They all have different styles and tones. I think what Mark's doing that stands out from the rest, is his content can be more easily digested by children. (I think, not a child anymore)

I'd love to see you keep working on this and seeing how far and advanced you can take this, because this can be absolutely groundbreaking for the blind community.

[@Casper-Ghost]

This really isn't groundbreaking at all and is about 8 years behind Google's own project. The reason the tech has never taken off in the blindness community is because simply using a long white cane properly is far safer and more efficient without any battery usage or other tech dependency issues. Something like this would never be useful for chaotic environments like malls, airports, or festivals and would still require considerable training with a cane as well.

[@acvgaming5601]

@@Casper-Ghost Just me again. I'm assuming you invented the cane at this point

[@diablo.the.cheater]

@@Casper-Ghost You know that a cane is tech? tech is not synonimous with "computerized thing". Language is tech, agriculture is tech, a hat is tech, and this is also tech. There is no difference between being dependen on one tech or another, and this tech could perfectly be integrated in a regular cane and bum you have both tech so if one fails you have a backup and are less dependent on one tech in specific.

[@julianpeters5952]

Excellent idea! I once heard of a research project where they used vibration-motors from smartphone arranged in a belt to tell you the direction in which to go. They would let the people walk around with it for a longer time (1 or 2 weeks) and continously lower the intensity. At some point the vibrations where so faint they could no longer be picked up conciously, which is akin to giving you an extra sense. I would probably try a newer version with something like this. And while you're at it: IF at some point Galileo comes online it would provide you with precise enough data from your surroundings. Augment that with information from a Google Glas, run optical flow on the video picture to get an estimate of collisions about to happen... That could work pretty seamlessly.
