TacTile

TacTile is a technology-infused cane for those who are blind. It features three touchpoints: pavement tiles, the cane tip, and the user’s mobile device. The system works by feeding information from the pavement tile to the cane tip through a sensor placed inside the cane. When the sensor picks up the RFID signal in the pavement, it responds with location and other data. The mobile app communicates the information to the user, such as precise location and guidance, a report on how crowded an area is before they get there, warnings, and places of interest around the user as they navigate.
