Your white noise generator is no longer required
>> ^BoneRemake:
It needs some of the random sonar ping sounds. This would aid me in sleeping if I wanted to position a separate set of speakers near my fuck slab.
it does have those sounds. you just haven't listened to it long enough to hear it

Great invention by Schoolgirls in the West Bank
>> ^MilkmanDan:
I would applaud the girls' efforts and intentions, but the invention itself seems a little underwhelming. They spent time and effort and limited funds to get the electronic parts, but have they ever seen a blind person walk with a cane or asked such a person what would make for a better cane?
The point of the cane is to function as a probe. It isn't held rigidly in one place directly in front of the user, it is tapped or dragged back and forth in an arc in front of them. You don't need a sonar/laser proximity sensor to alert you when you are approaching an obstacle; the cane physically touching the object does that. I don't really understand their hole detection system, again I imagine that simply using the cane to probe out holes or steps down would work just as well if not better.
So it seems to be a cane with electronic circuits that at best provide little benefit at the cost of having to periodically replace batteries, and at worst feeds the user with incorrect information or causes them to become less adept at using the cane as a simple (but effective) physical probe.
I don't really mean to be a downer, but it just doesn't seem particularly practical. Maybe there is more to it than meets the eye, or the report didn't do it justice.

I thought the same thing at first, but here's the key difference:
A blind person's "probing" cane/stick does not support weight, the same way an old/handicapped persons cane/walker does. So the probing canes are only good if the blind person is in otherwise good enough physical condition to walk on their own. This invention just merges the probing and walking canes into one cane.

4 Most Pathethic Child Vloggers in the World
Those videos of animals with human heads were part of a viral campaign for Sonar festival in Barcelona a couple years back, man were they creepy, especially when seen out of context
BBC Horizon - How Many People Can Live on Planet Earth?
Well, by 2050 we'll have 9 billion people, but by that time all our fish stocks worldwide will have collapsed completely from overfishing. We don't farm and cultivate the sea, we just hunt and poach the fish from it. We're still getting better and better at fishing, using sonar, bigger nets, better ships, but just as the technology makes it easier to find fish, it is getting harder and harder to find them, fishermen are having to travel further and further to get their catches, ultimately this cycle is destined to total failure. So that's one source of food production that we will ultimately have to do without. Unless something changes...

What the .... ??? Parking magic!
*lies ? (wish I could invoke that stuff )
Parktronic is nothing more than sonar sensors in the front and rear bumper, that give off warning tones the closer you get to the obstacle, in your front or rear field.
Nothing else to it, this vid does not represent that at all.
