Traditional canes work—until you need more.
Most canes rely on contact-first feedback. That’s reliable, but it limits awareness and slows decisions—especially in modern, fast-moving spaces.
“It works—but it can be improved.”
CaneSee is built to extend awareness before contact, then offer extra help only when requested.
