Using Your Buzzclip; Detection Accuracy And Range Of The Buzzclip - iMerciv BuzzClip Quick Start Manual

Using your BuzzClip

The BuzzClip is not a replacement for a cane but a complementary mobility tool. It is
intended to be used in combination with a cane or a guide dog. For those who
frequently travel with a cane or a guide dog, we recommend using the BuzzClip to
address upper body and head level obstacles while the cane can address changes in
elevation and lower obstacles. The BuzzClip can also be used on its own for when in
familiar indoor environments and for people living with partial sight who do not use a
cane or a guide dog.

Detection Accuracy and Range of the BuzzClip:

1. The BuzzClip can accurately detect anything coming into its range of
detection. The sensor ensures
that the distance to any nearby
obstacles is accurately measured
regardless of lighting conditions
or transparency of the object. It
does this by sending and
receiving sound waves. The
received information is then
relayed back to the user instantly
through intuitive vibrations.
2. The angle of detection is a conical
shape from the center of the
sensor (mesh within circular ring)
and the BuzzClip has two ranges
of detection: a 1-meter mode and a 2-meter mode.
3. When the BuzzClip is clipped around your upper body or chest area, it will
detect any oncoming obstacles covering from about your waist till just the
top of your head in the 2-meter mode.
4. The frequency and intensity of the vibrations from the BuzzClip increase as
you get closer to an obstacle (and vice versa).
5. The BuzzClip delivers three strong rapid vibrations when it is 50 cm (arm's
length) away from an obstacle as an indication to stop and proceed with
caution as there is something that is now less than 50 cm away from you.
