Product features

The iGlasses® are an ultrasonic obstacle detection device developed by RNIB and AmbuTech. They are designed to be used as a secondary mobility device alongside a cane or guide dog. Worn like spectacles the iGlasses provide vibration feedback when you near a potential hazard at head and chest height. When you approach obstacles such as over grown branches, hanging signs and baskets the frequency of the vibration will increase - giving you more confidence to explore your surroundings. The frames and arms are black with either clear or brown tinted lenses.
