SmartCane is India's most advanced electronic travel aid for blind
and visually impaired persons — developed by IIT Delhi and proven
across thousands of users nationwide.
Unlike a standard white cane that only detects ground-level
obstacles, SmartCane detects obstacles between knee and head
height — the danger zone that traditional canes completely miss.
Hanging objects, open car boots, jutting shelves, tree branches —
SmartCane alerts you before you reach them.
How SmartCane Works:
SmartCane attaches to any standard folding white cane. Its
ultrasonic sensors continuously scan for obstacles up to 3 metres
ahead. When an obstacle is detected, it vibrates in a distinct
pattern — no sound, no distraction, instant alert.
Key Features:
- Detects obstacles at knee-to-head height (0.8m to 3m range)
- Three distance zones with distinct vibration patterns
- Attaches to any standard folding cane — no replacement needed
- Lightweight, weatherproof and rechargeable
- Developed by IIT Delhi, field-tested across India
SmartCane is distributed exclusively by Saktek Foundation —
