The iSonic device was being introduced during CeBIT 2010 in HANNOVER, Germany. iSonic is capable to informs visually handicapped users for any obstacle within 2 meters of their walking path boundaries.
The vibration strength will varies according to the vertical and horizontal degrees. Besides, the walking stick will also detect some major color and brightness level on the current environment and send out voice to tell its user.
