Now’s the time to have a look at this WeWalk Smart Cane. Sometimes you are going to have those growing pains. That if you had some hardware issues in those early days, they were pretty good about replacing the device. And I did hear a little bit of feedback initially about some technicals that WeWALK were having, but I also heard that they were very good about resolving them. So the movement integration is another feather in the cap of WeWalk. And in recent years Moovit has been quite interested in the blindness market, and they’ve made their app more accessible, and they’re trying to provide information that is particularly useful to blind people. And they’ve just announced a partnership with Moovit, which has a lot of public transport information. You can control the functions of your, WeWALK app from this little touch screen on the cane, which I think is a really cool idea. But they do have this sensor on the cane, as Nick described in his review in episode 76, that gives you information about overhanging obstacles, that kind of thing. And I thought to myself, well at the very worst, it’s worth it for that. But if you get the WeWALK smart cane, you also get a lifetime subscription to the app. And it’s a very decent GPS navigation app for blind people.

Even if you don’t find the cane useful, you can download the WeWALK app for iPhone and Android, and you can subscribe to their app. And they also have a pretty jolly good GPS app. And I think of the white cane like this, and I’ve often thought why doesn’t the white cane have a built-in, I don’t know, FM radio in the old days or wifi or Bluetooth? So WeWALK is a product that has intrigued me for a wee while. And in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy universe, there are all sorts of things that you can do with your towel. You should always know where your towel is, and I’ve always thought the white cane is a bit like that for a blind person.

If you’re a Douglas Adams fan, and you’ve read the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, you’ll know the whole meme that was going on through that series about one’s towel. With technology the way it is, there should be all sorts of things that you can put in your white cane. I’ve always thought that the white cane is unutilized real estate. It’s interesting to me, and they had a 30% off deal to buy the WeWALK smart cane. And I’ve been watching this product for a while. You may remember all the way back in episode 76, Nick Zammarelli demonstrated the WeWALK smart cane. I feel like I have an obligation to disclose this because when Bonnie and I were talking in the Bonnie bulletin last week, I said that I don’t really go for the Black Friday thing, but I did get tempted by something. So you get a breather from me, aren’t you lucky? Well, the Black Friday bug finally did bite me. And then we’ll be taking a break until the very end of January. The final one will be released on the 19th of December, New Zealand time. This is the third to last Mosen at large podcast of 2021. Is anybody going to be particularly sad to see the back of another pandemic ridden year? I think many of us are looking forward to a recharge, and here at New Zealand, we have a nice long break over summer. Jonathan Mosen: Welcome to episode 160 and to December, 2021. This week: what are your top 10 holiday songs of all time? Your Chromebook has talked back-built in, and if you own a smartphone, do you still need a dedicated blindness device when an app could do the same thing? And this is Mosen at Large, the show that’s got the blind community talking.
