From Cynical to Sold: Steven Tries the WeWalk 2 Cane

Is the WeWalk 2 smart cane worth the price? Steven shares his hands-on experience, exploring its features, obstacle detection, and how it compares to traditional canes.

In this episode, Steven and Shaun revisit their skepticism about the WeWalk smart cane and how the second-generation model has changed their minds. Steven details real-world use cases including avoiding tree branches, navigating around parked vehicles, and controlling navigation via the cane’s handle—all while keeping his phone in his pocket.

They also discuss the accessibility challenges of video editing for blind users, the pros and cons of Windows and Mac, and their continued struggle to master Reaper. Plus, there’s a deep dive into cane tips like the Pathfinder 360 and spring-loaded NoJab, and a look at the potential of AI voice assistants in mobility tech.
