CATHERINE TAN HWEE FUNG Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Mobility is the physical activity to get to another place which includes walking. Vision is defined as the faculty and power of seeing. For those who are sight impaired and have mobility issues, this becomes a problem as it is uncommon for a gadget or aid to tackle both these issues. The Smart Guide Cane is specially designed for this group of people with both issues. It can also help those with any of the two issues as it has many features that will allow them to be more confident in their movement, improving the quality of life for them.
