Icho for the blind

From the Frog Design group's Munich office comes the Icho, a navigation aid concept that would augment a blind person's experience when navigating urban spaces. The handheld device works a bit like a cane, but uses sonar proximity sensors, gyroscope technology, and haptic feedback to lead users around and help connect them to local businesses and organizations. The creators are already developing mock-ups of how the technology might work.
