Today the order for equipping the museum with „Canesitter“ cane holders for the blind went out to the Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe. There all accessible stations will be equipped with this useful tool. It allows the blind museum visitors to clamp their cane to have both hands free for viewing exhibits and reading texts.
An exhibition should be a multimedia experience and accessible to all. No complex installations will be made and no app or devices are necessary.
The TellDing® system, developed by me, reverses the technical bring and is exactly for this reason extremely interesting and without alternative for certain applications!
The task:
An object should 1. be able to be found only by hearing (in the dark or for blind visitors:inside).
2. the object should identify itself and provide audio or video.
The users do not need 3. a device or an app.
Use cases:
The exhibits in the exhibition are recorded.
A door, an elevator, the stairs, the toilet – i.e. the destination guidance.
The room text or ambient sound should be played.
The visitor does not need the guide or the smartphone in his hand. The intelligence is in the device at the exhibit or at the POI (such as doors, elevator, room text). It recognizes what it should offer him/her on the basis of an element carried by the visitor on the lanyard.
TellDing is installed in the museum at the exhibit, doors and stairs, room information, etc. The visitor approaches the corresponding information point or exhibit with his visitor’s card (entrance ticket) and receives audio information in his native language. Blind visitors get detailed audio description. As a talking point, the TellDing even helps blind visitors find the object or door or elevator by simply allowing the visitor to follow the audio source. Ingeniously simple! And no great cost to set up.

Imagine that you need both hands available, but unfortunately one hand is always busy holding or pinching something. If you need a white cane for protection and want to get rid of it temporarily at every exhibit in the museum or at the voting booth for writing, or when changing in the gym, you are usually looking in vain. That’s why I developed the Canesitter. A quick clamp that can be adapted to any color design, suitable for any white cane.
Compact, shapely, durable, inexpensive and available in dozens of colour combinations.
For further information and ordering please contact service@canesitter.com.

The standard module: Housing dark grey, clamp black costs 24,99€ incl. VAT. All other colours and combinations cost 29,75€ incl. VAT. The delivery time is currently about two weeks.
TellDing® is a system that provides visitors to a building or exhibition with individually adapted information about the object via audio. This audio information can also be used for orientation towards the object. An elevator or a staircase will therefore speak „Stairs to floors 2 to 8“ from any distance that can be preset. A blind visitor can then orientate himself and move precisely. More information at TellDing.de
TellDing is an „instant audio guide“ and orientation system in one.
Hidden or exposed, it uses a proximity sensor to provide information in the language and depth of the visitor’s individual needs.
TellDing as an orientation system provides blind visitors with acoustic guidance to the object.
