The challenge
LumiCane is addressing the critical safety issue faced by blind and visually impaired individuals at night, where reduced visibility often leads to (near) accidents. This lack of visibility makes it challenging for others, such as drivers and pedestrians, to detect individuals using traditional white canes in low-light conditions, significantly increasing the risk of harm.
The solution
LumiCane’s solution is an innovative illuminated white cane that integrates advanced lighting technology to enhance the visibility of blind and visually impaired individuals in low-light environments. This cane ensures that users are easily seen by others, improving safety and confidence while navigating at night. By combining functionality with enhanced visibility, LumiCane raises awareness about inclusivity and accessibility in public spaces, offering a practical and impactful tool for safer mobility.
