Oklahoma ABLE Tech: Device Loan: Device Details for Sunu Band
Device Description
The Sunu Band is a sonar
smartband that improves navigation for individuals with visual impairments. It
combines sonar or echolocation with gentle precise vibrations to inform the
user about objects or obstacles within their environment. The band augments
awareness of the wearer's personal space, reduces accidents, and ultimately
improves confidence while providing a more fluid and enjoyable mobility. The
band produces high-frequency sound waves which bounce off close objects. Sunu
then creates unique vibratory patterns depending on how close or far away the
user is to the obstacle. For example, the pulses are much more frequent the
closer you are to the object; less frequent if the object is further away. Edge
Detector function provides haptic feedback when you locate the edge of doorway or
corner. It uses a customizable via Sunu mobile app. The Sunu Band should be
used in conjunction with a cane or guide dog. Includes a standard 20mm watch
strap and buckle that fits most men and women sizes.
