As part of our RSA brief we had to design and create a product which helped an individual with a disability or disorder to do a certain task. I chose blind people and adapted the traditional walking stick into a more modern and up-to-date. It has a roller ball base, a bit like the tip of a BIC Biro. It is only 75cm high with a lovely ball grip at the top. Inside it has a sensor and GPS which guides the blind person around and senses if there is anything that the user might bump into. It will notify the user by applying a steady brake, once the object has passed it will release itself again and work as per usual.
I have done a few different colour schemes for this which I will show you soon. The final model will be a light-ish Blue with a Chrome top and bottom ball.
