>It is a device that would tell the traveler if she or he were traveling in a

>crossing a large parking lot, wide intersection or other open space without
>landmarks. If the traveler wandered off to the left or right of "straight"
>the device would emit a slight vibration much like that of a cell phone. I
>have several questions:
>1. Would a device like this be helpful for you or blind people you know.
>2. Would a device like this be helpful for experienced blind travelers who
>ocasionally need to know they are going straight?
>3. What amount should the device cost? I'm looking here for some feel of
>an upper limmit at which the device would become cost-prohibitive.
>4. What qualities should the device have? This is very open-ended--size,
>shape, ease of use, Etc.?
>Thanks for your help.
