The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a system of wearable technology, haptic feedback and hands free navigation to help you navigate day to day journeys more safely.
It combines hazard detection and a mobile app to keep you on course for your destination, whilst alerting you to things in your environment.
The Sixth Sense pairs perfectly with the white cane. It is designed to detect roadblocks above floor level whilst also being controllable hands free, so you can keep your hands free and ready for anything life throws at you.
Our Vision

A world where all spheres of society are open to persons with disabilities.
