SMART CANE USES GOOGLE MAPS & ALEXA TO NAVIGATE

A fairly fantastic way to integrate smart tech and voice assistants in to the lives of people that need them probably the most, WeWALK is a great cane that can take today’s tech and causes it to be readily available. Made to be not only a walking stick for that visually impaired, WeWALK is a great-cane that detects obstacles, pairs with smartphones, and reacts to voice instructions. The collapsible smart-cane looks a little bit bit diverse from most regular walking sticks, but that’s since it absolutely is. An enormous win for inclusive design, the smart-cane posseses an ultrasound sensor that can help identify obstacles and inform the consumer to prevent an accident. Additionally, it pairs together with your smartphone via Bluetooth, integrating with features in your smartphone which make navigation simpler. Its compatibility with voice assistants, and skill to see map-data helps the walking stick are a wayfinder that you could speak with. Touch-sensitive controls around the WeWALK assist you to toggle its functions, as well as an in-built microphone assist you to talk directly into it, asking your phone’s voice assistant to help you towards the nearest café, grocer, bus-stop, or perhaps to your home. The stick then becomes your seeing-eye-dog, assisting you by suggesting when you should turn, where you can stop, and should you avoid a lamppost, a tree, or other obstacle. Eliminating the necessity to bring your phone out for navigation, or the necessity to ask a close person to let you know where you need to go, WeWALK is a smart cane aimed at liberating the visually impaired through technology that’s intended for everybody. Simple to use, and most importantly portable, WeWALK helps get people seamlessly from point A to suggest B with a feeling of freedom and confidence that’s absolutely liberating! blind cane color canes for the blind with sensors blind cane name blind cane color meanings smart cane for blind support cane symbol cane how to use a white cane Read the full article

My New Airbnb "Hack": The Wifi Checkout Button

TL:DR - Amazon IoT button (aka Dash Button) placed at exit with sign saying "push me to checkout", sends text message to us - solves wondering if they are still here...So after five months of hosting, I've figured out that figuring out if our guests are gone is actually one of our biggest challenges. Our rental is an in-law on our property and, especially on weekends, whether our guests are still there really impacts how we use our backyard.Enter Amazon IoT button. https://aws.amazon.com/iotbutton/ This is the programmable, no need to hack it, version of the Dash button (the little wifi button that you can push to re-order toilet paper or whatever). The iot button is $20 bucks vs. $5 or less for the Amazon Dash version, but it's much more customizable.Configuring the button is easy with the AWS IoT button smartphone app (easier then doing it from the computer interestingly.). There are pre-made templates for "text me when the button is pushed". You can find lots of people with more complex templates online. We have it set up to text us when someone pushes it with the message "The guests checked out."Pic of our sign and the button hanging down. http://imgur.com/VTHO8WN
