Wewalk’s ergonomic attachment fits on top of a regular white cane and connects to the WeWALK mobile app. Using WeWALK’s inbuilt sensors, touchpad, speaker and microphone, users can benefit from above-ground obstacle detection, seamless outdoor navigation, Alexa voice commands, and hands-free control of their mobile device, straight from their cane.
“We created Wewalk using cutting-edge technology to get visually impaired people wherever they want to go, safely, effectively, and independently comments Gökhan Meriçliler, co-founder and UK Country Lead of Wewalk. “With the support of our investors and strategic partners, such as Microsoft and Imperial College London, we are set to deliver an even bigger impact for the visually impaired community worldwide,” he continues.
The funds raised will be used to accelerate growth and tech development, which the founders hope will include the enhancement of the navigation system when using public transport.
