Trying A $600 SMART Cane for the Blind!

Even though my first experience using WeWalk wasn't the best, I'm certain some of it was user error and I know it will take some getting used to! I can certainly see some of the benefits to it and think it would be most useful to those who frequently find themselves hitting their heads. I would love to see the price point become a bit more affordable and can't wait to see what the WeWalk team does next! Follow @mollyburkeofficial on TikTok for updates on my Smart Cane experience! (We're almost at a MILLION over there!) The first 1000 people to click the link will get a one month trial of Skillshare: @t Like to see accessible tools for the blind?

I wonder if the clock directions were a little off because you hold the handle a little differently than described, or because you’re left-handed. It was probably tested with almost exclusively right-handed people

I'd love to see more updates on Youtube as I personally don't use TikTok due to toxicity and addiction potential but I'm still really intrested in learning about the WeWalk.

This is a statement on health care in the US, but when you said the cane cost $600, my first thought was “Oh, that’s not too bad.” I’ve seen so many pieces of equipment costing thousands and thousands of dollars that $600 seems so small in comparison. Being disabled in the US is EXPENSIVE. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It almost sounds like it needs to be calibrated. I wonder if there's something the wewalk team can help you do to calibrate it or if some innovation needs to go into that. Like maybe you hold it slightly differently or it's gyroscope is slightly off. It sounds really cool and promising in concept. I hope they can help you or take your input and make it more helpful and accessible

I’d like to hear Adrian’s review if We Walk too? He’s taller and I wonder if it reacts differently for him?

"Reduced location accuracy" could possibly be a GPS signal issue, as in satellite signals not being able to trliaterate well. That can sometimes happen in areas with a lot of tall and/or condensed buildings, trees, overhanging architechture, etc. that block or reflect the signals needed to find/direct a person via GPS (and is not necessarily always related to what specific app is being used for navigation).

This looks like a stick vacuum to me. Anyone else? Also, could you wrap some red tape around the end to make sure people know?

I would love to see an in-depth review in a couple of weeks or months. Great video molly!

It sounds like this cane is a good start. The app and directions needs to be perfect and they aren't there yet. It also sounds like they need to make a children's size handle for children and children sized adults

Molly mentioned her boyfriend ! Yay I wasn't sure if they were still together. I'm glad she provided a kind criticism.

It's pretty normal to have a USB charger on one end in Europe. I didn't know that in America you're moving fully towards usb-c on both ends. Here we usually have a USB-USB-C pairing.

I wonder if part of the issue with the “slightly off” directional instructions might be interference from buildings? I know the gps always has difficulty when in a “downtown” type location because the buildings block the signals. Thank you for sharing your experiences and making the rest of us stop and consider others. I have shared a couple of your guide dog videos with my grade 2 students to help raise their awareness of others as well as proper respect for working service dogs. They loved them.

It would be neat to see them adapt that to make it JUST the sensor that you can clip onto your already owned cane. Would be cheaper, more accessible to all, and comfortable because you can use the cane your used to!

Technology is getting so advanced; it's about time they innovate it in these areas to help make the world more accessible. There's so much potential here. I can't wait to see you use this more and see what progress they have in store.

When travel is allowed, I'd love a series about mobility and accessibility for the blind in different countries. You could meet up with other blind people from that country and have them show you how they do things and how their country and city helps or hinders them. I feel like the Australian blind people I know do stuff quite differently to you.

Kind of a weird comment, but I'm really glad that the youtube comments aren't being mean or accusing Molly of "faking her blindness." The amount of people on Tiktok that were saying "oh, how does she know what colour it is?" or "Why does she need sunglasses if she's blind?" really disappointed me. Some people on there are just toxic and rude as hell

I’m so glad they are finally making white canes more advanced. One of my biggest challenges is reading bus numbers and having to depend on the driver or someone else to tell me what it is.

Just FYI there was some blurring around Molly at one point when she was walking outside (intentional I assume for safety), but then none at all in the next segment where you can clearly see what the streets and buildings look like as she's walking. Letting you know in case you want to edit that segment.

I love how you where still so nice about the company even after a bad experience and how you kept a open mind and said I'm going to tweak it and see what happens. I love your channel and you seem so genuine and lovely 💜
