In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece hear about a new type of mobility aid that uses embedded RFID tags at various locations for navigation.
The guys start with a quick peek into the inbox, and suddenly dive back into the implications of Neuralink, and personal experiences with vision loss.
The conversation also covers the comparison between different smart cane technologies, specifically the WeWalk and Mini Guide, and concludes with a discussion on political volunteering and its accessibility for people with disabilities.
Our main conversation today explores innovative solutions for indoor navigation using RFID technology. HearSee is based in Southern Utah in the USA and has created an innovative smart cane that detects embedded RFID tags to help blind users navigate indoors. President of HearSee, James Bloomfield, talks to Shaun about the invention.
