Hello,Personally I am not a fan. Why use something like this when the actual feel of using a cane is totally different than this device? I think the weight would also be different and some resistance from the cables attached to the device would take away from the true feel of the actual cane. You would need an open space to use it, too. Also, the cane techniques are different....holding the cane, for example, is the golf-handle method...crossing the ?street?, is also a different grip, from what I could tell. Also, slopes, wind cues, smells would not be included. Not sure about the weight of the head piece on the user?s head, too.? Don?t care for this device....

I don't see the advantage of using it with blind people themselves since you and your students can use real life environments. Just my opinion though. Others may be more creative than I am.

I don't think it's necessary, but like the idea and could see it being useful perhaps for some prep or reinforcement of skills and concepts.
