BuzzClip

BuzzClip is a small and discreet mobility safety device for people with blindness or partial sight. It uses ultrasound to detect obstacles in its path and sends vibrations to its user to warn them of upcoming objects.

The BuzzClip is easy to set up and use, doesn’t require additional equipment or apps, and provides confidence and independence to its users.

The BuzzClip was designed to be used as a complement to a cane or a guide dog. Since the BuzzClip provides upper body and head level collision prevention, when used in combination with a cane or a guide dog, users can confidently move without the fear of accidental injuries – be it lower or upper body. Some users do prefer to use it without other aids by holding and maneuvering it to get a sense of their surroundings.

Exclusive 3 year Warranty!

The BuzzClip includes a 3 year extended warranty, exclusive to Bridges.

Features:

• can be easily held or attached to many forms of clothing
• three ranges of detection: 3-meter mode, 2-meter mode and 1-meter mode
• water resistant and works well in light rain (NOT waterproof)
• chamfered edges of the device, allow you to run your finger along the part in order to locate the Micro-USB charging port
• a small hole allows you to hang the device on a lanyard
• included in the box: micro USB charging cable, AC adapter and lanyard

How it works:

The device sends out sound waves in a conical shape from the center of its sensor. It can accurately detect and measure the distance to any object in front of it regardless of lighting or transparency of the object. Vibrations warn the user of possible collisions and will increase in frequency as the user gets closer to the obstacle.

You can choose between different range modes: 1 metre, 2 metre, and 3 metre. Users can quickly and easily switch between each one depending on the situation. For example:

• 1-metre mode can be used indoors or in tight spaces (ex. room filled with people), where the user has to frequently maneuver around the obstacles
• 2- and 3-metre modes are used outdoors, in open spaces

Wearing your BuzzClip

Your BuzzClip can be used as both a wearable and a handheld!

The BuzzClip can be worn many different ways based on one's mobility needs. It can be easily clipped onto shirts, t-shirts, on sleeves (long or short), sweaters, jeans, sweatpants, and more. Multiple BuzzClips can also be used at once for greater coverage around one's body. This would give a blind or partially sighted user much more information about their immediate surroundings.
