Hi everyone,
With the new school year approaching, we would like to share something that might be useful for students (or parents of students) who are blind or low vision and navigating new routes, new buildings, or a new campus altogether this fall!
WeWALK is currently running a back-to-school promotion: the code BACKTOSCHOOL20 takes up to $250 off, valid through August 31 (11:59 PM PST). Just apply the coupon code at checkout here: https://wewalk.io/en/checkout/ !
For anyone who's been considering the Smart Cane 2, you can check out The Blind Life Sam's review video here: https://youtu.be/cIVoECPglSo?si=jboXshrI0YSkEjae
The Smart Cane 2 is built around three things that tend to matter most during the back-to-school scramble:
Obstacle detection at chest and head height — with haptic or audio feedback, so overhanging branches, open cabinet doors, and signage don't come as a surprise.
Hands-free navigation built into the handle — turn-by-turn guidance without needing to hold or check a phone, which is especially handy when you're also juggling a backpack, coffee, or a new class schedule.
Lightweight, foldable design — made to travel easily between classes, dorms, and daily campus life without becoming another thing to manage.
The campaign is for students, but also if you're picking one up as a gift for a child or someone else starting the semester.
Worth noting: the promotion has some regional restrictions and may not be available everywhere, so it's best to check availability for your country at checkout.
Happy to answer any questions about the cane's features here in the thread, or you can email info@wewalk.io. If any of you have used Smart Cane 2 already, we'd love to hear how it's held up in your daily life.
