The UltraCane is a new electronic mobility aid, designed to help people
get around more easily and safely. The UltraCane was inspired by the
way bats navigate in darkness. The cane uses ultrasonic signals which
bounce off objects present in the environment and feed information back
to the cane. This covers the areas in front and, uniquely, to the head
height of the user.
