So let me start by saying that this has nothing to do with cinematography. But it’s pretty inspiring that people with challenges can overcome them and help others.

The WeWALK smart cane uses ultrasonic sensors to warn of nearby impediments through vibrations in the handle.
The cane, designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey, can also be paired with the WeWALK smartphone app (via Bluetooth). Using the touchpad controls on the smart cane, the user can then control their smartphone without taking it out of their pocket (leaving one hand free for other tasks).
The new device is currently being sold for $500. As the Turkish tech startup gains more traction, the developers hope to eventually pair it with ridesharing apps and transportation services to further improve its navigational abilities.
