Materials and Equipment (used for Experiment)
These were the following materials used while conducting the experiment:
Our group couldn’t get a white cane (the stick used by the blind), so we substituted it with a meter stick. We think that the stick is actually harder to use than a white cane because the meter stick was too short for our height. We had lower our arm for the stick to reach ground, whereas a white cane comes in different sizes for different heights. The white cane is also more convenient because it is foldable, whereas a binder is not.

- Recording app on a phone- used to record clicks and play them back louder
- RTMS staircase- quiet environment with great acoustics used as location for experimentation.
- Binder- object needed to detect for experiment
