The Monterey Cane is developed primarily for the blind and vision impaired. It is shaped like a regular white cane but it has a computer housing inside that allows it to do many sophisticated warnings, such as sensors for curbs, fast moving objects, low ceilings, and noxious gases. It has a reflector in the front that can also be a flashing light that can be turned on or off.  One of the main features is the emergency cellular phone and GPS in the handle which can be turned on by pressing a button on the top of the cane. In front of the button is a speaker grill with a microphone for communication and sounds pertaining to alerting the person walking.  The GPS can help find the find or monitor the person walking also. The rubber stopper at the bottom is attached to a removable hollow section where the batteries are kept.  The majority of the sensors are housed in the lower tube also which can also be extended. 

These features allow for more freedom but also provide help should it be needed.
