Team Cane
About this project
This telescopic cane stays extended despite long periods of contact with the ground, so that cane users can use it for heavy-duty use like the foldable cane. The added value of this cane is that it is Foldable and easy to store in your bag.
The challenge
Kwek Bin would like us to design a telescopic cane that does not retract and stays extended
despite long periods of contact with the ground, so that cane users can
use it for heavy-duty use like the foldable cane.
Who it helps
Blind people use canes, and there are two types of canes: foldable ones
and telescopic canes. They like the telescopic canes because they are
more elegant and less cumbersome. The problem with the existing
telescopic canes is that they do not stay extended once they contact the
ground, the impact tends to make the canes retract.
