Join us for an introduction to the WeWALK smart cane and app! WeWALK is a smart cane developed to improve the mobility of visually impaired people, allowing them full and equal participation in everyday life. The smart cane works in tandem with the app to help you navigate the world around you with fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS navigation, carefully designed for blind and low vision users. WeWALK’s smart city integration gives information about the world around you such as public transportation options and an exploration mode to help you discover popular points of interests near you.
Before the Training: We kindly ask that all registrants download the WeWALK app before the session so that they can follow along during the session. You can download and install WeWALK app by tapping the link here from your iOS or Android phone.
