Some Raspberry Pi projects are designed to make a difference in the world, and we're always excited to share them. Today, we're tickled to show off a creation put together by a team known as Team Green Cane. The group has created what they call Green Cane—a Raspberry Pi-powered smart cane with a GPS and notification system that helps visually impaired persons.
According to the team, the main goal of the project was to provide extra security and safety tools for visually impaired individuals who rely on a cane for navigation. For example, it can send notifications when the person has fallen and play a sound through an integrated speaker for real-time alerts. It can also use integrated sensors to help better read the environment.
