Navigating New Possibilities

About Us

From the beginning, Hearsee Mobility has worked in conjunction with the blind and low-vision community. They have provided valuable input throughout the developmental process regarding the hardware, software, and user-friendliness of the assistive technology tools.

In early 2023, Hearsee Mobility was able to test a cane prototype in a real-world scenario at a National Federation of the Blind conference. It was a great success!

The organization currently continues to refine its assistive technology tools in hopes that in the near future they will be available and affordable to the blind and low-vision community.

Changes are possible against all odds.

How We Got Here

2018

Hearsee Mobility is founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

2019

Completed a proof of concept of the technology behind the first navigational solution–a device that could read a tag and broadcast a signal to a simple app.

Met with members of the blind and low vision community in Salt Lake City, Utah, including Everette Bacon, President of the National Federation of the Blind in Utah, for the first time to gather valuable input.

2020

Researched and found a product development company that could design and build a working prototype, a cutting-edge cane, based on the proof-of-concept technology.

Continued to meet with the blind and low-vision community regarding the prototype design process. Their feedback was highly respected and implemented throughout the design process.

2021

Preliminary mechanical cane designs were made. The blind and low-vision communities were intricately involved, specifically in the design of the cane handle.

2022

The first official prototype of the cane was completed. It met 95% of the blind and low-vision community’s requests.

Due to software concerns, a new development company was found and was able to address and resolve the issues.

Great strides were made in the development of the iOS and Android apps.

2023

Tested the cane prototype in a real-world scenario at the National Federation of the Blind conference in Michigan with great success!

Feedback was again provided by the blind and low-vision community regarding the hardware, software, and user-friendliness of the assistive technology.

The National Federation of the Blind Utah Center was the first mapped location outside of a controlled environment.
