Introducing the VizCane®

  • It conforms to the international standard for folding white canes for the visually impaired.
  • The cane measures 1 metre fully extended, or 84 cm with the handle pushed in. When folded, and the folded bundle is 30 cm long. It is classed by the RNIB as a symbol cane.
  • It is made form a polycarbonate tube with an LED array - so that it shines bright white in the dark
  • On/off switch in the handle controlling the illumination is tactile - and is designed to be used by people who are visually impaired.
  • Audible beeps keep the user informed about whether the illumination is active - again designed specifically with the visually impaired person in mind:
    • an ascending beep tells you the illumination has been switched on;
    • a descending beep confirms it has been switched off;
    • a beep every minute reminds you if the illumination is still on;
    • another beep warns you when the battery is getting low.
  • It is powered by an easily rechargeable battery.
  • The handle can be extended making the cane longer - so you can adjust the height of the stick to suit your own height.
