Hey guys,<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew here, I wanted to introduce you to a really cool mobility tool for the blind it\u2019s called the \u2018Buzz Clip\u2019<\/strong>.  This device was designed for individuals with low vision and blindness and it\u2019s a sensor-based system that provides the wearer with physical feedback in the form of vibrations of different strength when the wearer is near (or approaching)  a large object such as a wall or a person. The device is meant to be placed centrally on the user\u2019s shirt, jacket, top or outer garment — typically it should be worn close to the wearer\u2019s sternum. Buzz Clip is lightweight, easy to manage with only two buttons and comes with a powerful clip.\"Large<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Back in March, I had the opportunity to meet the company\u2019s lead and chat about his product when I was at the CSUN conference.  I tried out the Buzz Clip and it was pretty awesome – it gave me feedback when I was approaching objects\/persons and during my brief trial of the device I was impressed.  Here at MD TAP we are fortunate enough to have one of the aforementioned devices and I am excited to hear more user feedback from our constituents. <\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you love the Buzz Clip or even if you don\u2019t love it, please leave a comment below!<\/strong><\/p>\n
