The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a device that uses wearable technology, haptic feedback and hands free navigation to help you navigate day to day journeys more safely.
The device combines hazard detection and a mobile app to keep you on course for your destination whilst alerting you to things in your environment.
The Sixth Sense is designed specifically to detect hazards that are above floor level whilst also being controllable hands free, making it easy to change things up whilst you are on the move.
Our product is flexible and can be used with other help such as white canes or guide dogs.
