When using the InnoMake App, please follow the instructions in the App user 

manual because the attachment parts are assigned to 

“left” and “right” in the 

App.  

4.5.  Your first steps  

If you are using your InnoMake for the first time, familiarise yourself with the 

InnoMake functions in a known environment first.  

Example: 

Stand facing an obstacle in your walking direction, e.g. a wall. Now 

slowly rotate yourself and your feet sideways on your own axis. You 

will notice that the vibration becomes less with the rotary movement 

and stops when your feet are no longer pointing in the direction of the 

obstacle. In the same way, you can also familiarise yourself with the 

detection of obstacles, e.g. objects lying on the ground indoors or e.g. 

pavement curbs outdoors.  

Please note that the shoes for your InnoMake are extended by 22 mm at the 

front of the shoe. This can increase the risk of tripping, e.g. when walking up 

stairs. 

You move around in a familiar way while using InnoMake. This means that if 

you have used a primary tool, e.g. a white cane, up to now, you will also 

continue to use this primary tool.

You must not neglect the proper use your primary tool when using 

InnoMake. 

4.6.  Changing the measurement range
