A good friend of mine's mother is 98% blind due to macular degeneration.
I have just fitted a set of parking sensors to a BMW M5 and only 1 of the sensors is actually broken, so I have a working sensor.
Is it impossible to make a small battery powered parking sensor to help a blind person 'scan' an environment to give them some idea of its
layout or proximity of objects.
If it is possible, could someone draw out a wiring diagram for an electrically challenged person to follow?
Thanks
Mark
Interesting idea... but I dont think they are accurate enough for that sort of thing... a decent stick would be more effective at working out distances and shapes!
The sensors the easy bit Mark its the control gubbins that does the work.
Cheers,

i suspect the whole system would be very bulky
The aftermarket systems seem very compact see fficial%2 6sa%3DN%26um%3D1" target="_blank">these, I would only want to use 1 sensor.
You can buy parking sensor systems very cheaply off ebay the range varies greatly some start working at 3 metres other at 1.5. the minium range also
varies on the good ones the minium range is 0.5m .
However I am sure the RNIB have much more developed utrasonic aids for the blind and those with very poor sight.
Theres a guy that does this with his tongue.... makes a clicking noise and can cycle down a road with parked cars.... totally blind.

I cannot see how he can "click" fast enough to be able to locate a ball on the table footoe table and there is no 3-D info ffrm a TV screen
for the video games.
