dc.description	The normal cane, due to its primitive design, is unable to offer the blind and visually impaired a level of independence that is achievable with modern technology. The Smart Cane looks to upgrade the white cane while ensuring an affordable price for an older and lower income demographic. This was done by including ultrasonic sensor to detect potential obstacles at an extended distance from the user, vibrating motors to alert the user of these obstacles via haptic feedback, and an adjustable and echonomic handle in order to increase the comfort and ease of the cane. Observations and basic testing confirm the effectiveness of the vibrations in the handle and the accuracy of the ultrasonic sensor up to 0.5 meters past the tip of the cane.	en_US
