Are you tired of banging or flirting with obstacles, whether on the shoulder or hip? Despite your
cane technique and optimal sweeping, do you ever miss obstacles with your white cane? Are you
afraid of bumping with overhead obstacles? Do you want full body protection without too many
feedbacks? You want a light product, easy to use and evolutive? So, Rango is for you!
Today Rango is delivered in a first evolutionary version which is very easy to use. Indeed, we
focused on producing a robust and easy-to-use first version. For this we worked on two important
projects: the first being to offer the user a full detection for protection of the whole body (from
head to toe, shoulder width); and the second project was to make Rango a product easy to use
by all, limiting as much as possible the sound feedbacks. Thus, in its first version, Rango will alert
only immediate obstacles that enter the shortened detection zone to 1.50 meters in front of you.
In testing phases, we realized that the white cane only detects obstacles at ground level and not
those at height. So Rango increases the white cane, detecting anything that is not detected by
your cane and your sweep. Finally, the promise of Rango is to alert the immediate presence of
an obstacle in front of you by a sound feedback, to offer you full security and ensure ease of use.
In practice, as soon as you hear the sound; you stop; you are looking for the obstacle with your
cane; then you go around the obstacle. Rango's goal is to protect your entire body.
