Still doesn't beat a walking stick A walking stick will never fail you, if there's something in front of you, swing a walking stick in front of you and it will make contact An electronic device, otoh, can fail You don't want a blind person falling to his death because the firmware on his device isn't up to date

@elliaustr017 Which do you value more, convenience or reliability? A walking stick never runs out of battery

@elliaustr017 You talk about "other disabilities", but we are specifically talking about blind people here Feels like you don't actually know what you are talking about, and are just looking to start a pointless argument In other words, internet troll

@elliaustr017 I don't understand what are you trying to say My point is a walking stick is much more reliable than this device Are you trying to argue that or what?

@leaf7392 You aren't wrong This type of device can help supplement a cane But most of the assistance will still come from the cane There is no replacing the feedback of scanning the surface using a cane, it's basically like touching the surface in front of you
