Even though my first experience using WeWalk wasn't the best, I'm certain some of it was user error and I know it will take some getting used to! I can certainly see some of the benefits to it and think it would be most useful to those who frequently find themselves hitting their heads. I would love to see the price point become a bit more affordable and can't wait to see what the WeWalk team does next! Follow @mollyburkeofficial on TikTok for updates on my Smart Cane experience!

I've heard that it isn't the best in navigation not just from you. I went on review channels which had the same issue. The pre downloaded map on there is not in north america that one is pretty good. But since its not where you live it has to learn that. However the only thing I could think of for the 12-2:00 is the sweeping motion might be confusing it. That there just needs more work done. But I'm still glad that you were kind and you still want to continue this journey. I would totally be here to watch an update to this in a few months!
hang on... usb cables have DIFFRENT cable ends that go IN to the brick in the US? I thought it was universal that you could use any cable with the same brick O_O.
Molly I definitely agree people can say you can’t break tech it’s it’s just you know there you can just reset it but what people don’t realise is that it’s pretty intimidating when you can’t see and you can’t just pick up a manual with instructions it does suck but as we all know nothing is impossible
I wonder if the clock directions were a little off because you hold the handle a little differently than described, or because you’re left-handed. It was probably tested with almost exclusively right-handed people
I also thought of the cane being a little off, especially if the offset is always 2 hours ahead. However, I did not think of left-handedness. After all, the left hand is the right (as in correct) hand and the right (as in not left) hand is the wrong hand. :)
This is a statement on health care in the US, but when you said the cane cost $600, my first thought was “Oh, that’s not too bad.” I’ve seen so many pieces of equipment costing thousands and thousands of dollars that $600 seems so small in comparison. Being disabled in the US is EXPENSIVE. 🤷🏻♀️
@@natashaw401 there is a slight difference between the US and Canadian dollar, but that difference isn't enough to make up for how ridiculously expensive health care is in America. For example, my pain treatments are $800 per infusion.
I've heard that a lot of medical equipment like this is upcharged because insurance is expected to cover at least a portion. Compared to a regular one, (quick Google search) that's between $15 and $50, $600 is a lot, and I'm guessing insurance would say you can just use the basic one.
It sounds like this cane is a good start. The app and directions needs to be perfect and they aren't there yet. It also sounds like they need to make a children's size handle for children and children sized adults
Definitely agree on the size. Personally, I don't have tiny hands, but I do have neuropathy that affects my arms and hands, so I would be fatigued and in pain pretty quickly from the size and weight of it.
Molly mentioned the material it was made of was lighter than her aluminum cane, so it sounds like they've already made steps with the weight. That said, the handle could definitely be more ergonomic. I'm sighted, but I do a lot of hiking with hiking sticks. It's a different handhold and different purpose, but the same principle applies. I've found a good rule of thumb is to find a stick with a width that matches my relaxed, curled hand position. For me, that's a diameter of about an inch and a half or four centimeters. Whatever I'm holding can be a tad larger, but if it's close to that size, it's very easy to hold on to and use, even if it's a bit heavier.
When travel is allowed, I'd love a series about mobility and accessibility for the blind in different countries. You could meet up with other blind people from that country and have them show you how they do things and how their country and city helps or hinders them. I feel like the Australian blind people I know do stuff quite differently to you.
It's pretty normal to have a USB charger on one end in Europe. I didn't know that in America you're moving fully towards usb-c on both ends. Here we usually have a USB-USB-C pairing.
@@sierrarosie if she has mentioned it before, I haven't seen that video/don't recall it. However, aside from the point that pretty much all new USB-rechargeable tech is going/has gone to USB-C on at least the device end, my immediate thought on the cable was "but... wouldn't it make more sense for it to be USB-C, so no issues of which way up to make the connection? Seems weird to design accessibility tech for blind people and use the more outdated, less accessibility-friendly option." I felt it to be even weirder when adding the point that it was _designed_ by blind people.
I love how you where still so nice about the company even after a bad experience and how you kept a open mind and said I'm going to tweak it and see what happens. I love your channel and you seem so genuine and lovely 💜
Kind of a weird comment, but I'm really glad that the youtube comments aren't being mean or accusing Molly of "faking her blindness." The amount of people on Tiktok that were saying "oh, how does she know what colour it is?" or "Why does she need sunglasses if she's blind?" really disappointed me. Some people on there are just toxic and rude as hell
I'd love to see more about this cane and/or others, if they even exist. I really like your content Molly. Since I am not blind, I have to confess that I don't know much about how blind people deal with everyday occurences and obstacles and I learn a lot by watching your videos. Keep up the great work and have a nice day. Greetings from Switzerland.
Just FYI there was some blurring around Molly at one point when she was walking outside (intentional I assume for safety), but then none at all in the next segment where you can clearly see what the streets and buildings look like as she's walking. Letting you know in case you want to edit that segment.
I figured that the blur was to obscure identifiable details of her neighborhood, and it's not blurred when they're not somewhere close enough to home to be revealing of her location.
I am so happy that you finally decided to make this video! 😍 I have heard wonderful things about this smart cane and the company that created it! 💗 And I would love to see an update on your experience with this smart cane in the future.
@@Matt-oz1dm yep. They don't make phones for women's hands that are usually smaller. Remember how tiny phones used to be? Even my first 2 smart phones were smaller than anything that's on the market right now.
@@Matt-oz1dm I'm sure by the 4th or 5th generation (in 5-10 years) of this cane/tech, the version in this video will look like the mainframe computers of the 1960s, compared to a laptop...I appreciate that they wanted to get this to market as soon as possible to start helping people (and, let's face it, to make money to be able to stay in business), but from Molly's review, it definitely seems like it needs some improvement (and perhaps better instructions & training for users, and maybe even instruction for the user's O&M instructor, so they can help teach their client - in person, & customized for their needs & abilities & location - on this new tech?)
Molly I loved hearing you mention your dad so many times! I've watched you for a few years now and especially through the pandemic and I know how much you and your mom missed your dad so it makes me so happy to hear you guys all together and spending time together! Also awesome to see him helping you navigate things and get your cane set up with you since we usually always see your mom!
it's interesting to see the differences between canes. here in the Netherlands the cane i use is white with some red stripes around it (i'm legally blind). I never really thought of canes being different everywhere and it's cool to see/know the differences.
Such a cool idea! Interested to see further updates. I’m sighted, but I have other disabilities and find innovative disability tech to be such a great and exciting market that so much more can be done with! ALSO: I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but your final description tag for words on screen gives the time stamp “35:51”, but it isn’t an active time stamp since it isn’t an active time in this video. I think it’s meant to be at “29:05” as that is when the associated words are on the video. I hope that’s helpful. 💖
it seems like a sensor on a pin or brooch you could wear on your chest that connected to an app would be more helpful and wouldn't add weight to the cane.
That's a really good idea, I think maybe they chose the cane handle because it would be more stable and harder to cover up, but I'm sure there's a solution.
this exists. It's called a buzzclip. The angle is wrong. I found it fundamentally unhelpful, and my arms and hair kept setting it off. I haven't tried a we walk, but a cheeper version that had the same kind of sensor setup, I live in a busy city, and didn't find it helpful either. The vibrations from the sensor interfered with the vibrations I feel for with my cane, and the vibrations from my cane interfered with the vibrations from the handle, and it got set off by everything, like someone walking near me, etc. Honestly, all these buzzy obstacle alerters are just a distraction to me,
A thought comes to mind regarding the angular mistake, guiding you to two-o'-clock instead of twelve. If you're used to holding the other cane differently, was the smart-cane held straight when it guided you wrong? Then again it's like a sixty degree divergence, so I guess that's something you would have noticed when you were solving for that.
That or I wonder if the sweeping technique is throwing it off. Maybe the technique is different in UK or maybe Molly does wider or narrower sweeps than most and their software adds a certain number of cm to give the direction and doesn't calculate to match Molly's technique. Lots of possibilities!
I feel like it would make more sense to have the sensor around your neck like a necklace or something, it does look pretty bulky and heavy to have to carry.
Considering it was made by blind people for blind people this is probably their preferred option rather than a necklace or it cant hold the tech in a small necklace
Going back and watching a new video every day. This was the one I chose to watch today - and btw: When you demonstrated how you were taught to use the traditional US cane, that's how most (if not all) of the cane users used theirs as the camp I worked at in the mid 90's.
Molly have you ever heard about the strap technology with that though you’re not using the cane at all it’s basically just a strap that you are across your chest and then it detects obstacles waist tight head height although I wouldn’t recommend it and I haven’t used it but I’ve heard of it
Hi molly, I used to work at a technology store, and the micro USB is standard for technology that isn’t cell phones. 99% of tech (like headphones, and other smaller stuff is micro USB. :) this is so exciting for you!! :)
Do you feel like it's gonna stay that way? I feel like more and more tech that I get has USB c over micro USB lately. E.g. The PS5 controllers use USB c.
From UK, I've always been taught the exact same way, index finger down the flat and gripped. They generally say the flat should be pointed up but I never do and I've had O and M since I was 8, now 22, and no one has ever said I couldn't have it tilted the same way you do... and I don't know many people who don't hold their cane like that!!
I'm also from the UK and have been taught the same cane grip of pointer / index finger on the flat part of the grip. I hold my cane more to the side, as holding it towards my belly button hurts my arm. I've been told I have a lazy cane technique lol
Does it have a left handed / right handed setting? I noticed you're a left habded usee, and was thinking maybe it was telling you 2 when you expected 12 because of the orientation of the handle being offset to the left.
What ever the hand is, it's still wrong direction really. Imagine her holding it in the right arm, 2 would be even more directly to the wall. Also canes are for left and right handed people always. Although you can order custom handles to your cane.
I feel like if you start learning a skill with one hand, it’s easier than the other hand, even if it’s the non-dominant you use first. I’m left handed, but can do some things right handed from the start
I was just thinking thr app maybe had a setting to specify how you hole it. Like how a firbir or apple watch does, so the device knows how to properly interpret the motion.
Hi Leah - this is a great question. Our smart cane does not have a setting for right/left handers, but we wanted to mention that it is completely interchangeable for righties, lefties, and ambidextries (okay, we made the last word up).
Hi Molly Mel again, regarding the WeWalk Cane, I sadly don't have this. But, I heard of how assistive it is, being 20/200 in my right eye with tunnel vision, I tend to veer off to the wrong direction alot, or I would have a sighted human guide, as I have seasonal allergies, so I can't have a guide dog. This cane is interesting, I like how it enables you to walk on your own. Very innovative.
For the clock directions, it may because it is exclusively right handed. Since you’re left handed, the handle is flipped the other direction, so maybe it doesnt adjust for that? Just a guess. Im sure its hard enough being blind, and then adding on another kind of minority group with the left hand, must be difficult to find certain items that are safe and usable for both cases.
So in college my disability advisor was blind which by the way was super cool having another disabled person be my disability advisor because one of my biggest insecurities with self advocacy is understanding when I'm being honest with my ability and when I'm just being lazy and down on myself and having someone older who also has legitimate limitations, although I'm autistic and not blind, it did help a lot. Anyways, not the point. The point I was going to make was that one time I asked her what was the difference between a dog and a cane cause like she uses a cane and this other guy who came into the student lab uses a cane but this girl used a guide dog. And I think she kind of explained why some people prefer a dog to a cane but I just remember she said "I decided to use a cane because I don't have to feed a cane and I've already raised three children".
This product clearly has some really great potential. I feel like if the company was willing to partner with people like Molly to work on better physical designs and maybe if they could get someone from Apple to help with the app this could really be a major game changer for canes like this!
I totally agree I prefer GUIDE DOGS over my cane. Because being both deaf blind. I feel more safe with my GUIDE DOGS and more confident. I’ve been a guide dog users for 25 years.
I don’t mean to be rude but I am genuinely curious. How do you go about watching a video when you are deaf and blind? I understand when you are blind you can listen and have someone explain what they see and when your deaf you can watch it but you can’t hear it. Some explanation would be much appreciated.
@@olivia-zzushi You’re not being rude I know you’re curious and that’s totally OK. Because I am happy to explain to you so you can understand. Thank you for asking. I’ve been blind since I’ve been six months old in the hands of my birth mother. Meaning she left me in the car at six months old here in Tampa Florida on Causeway Beach. With the windows rolled up I rolled off of the seat into plastic and I suffocated. And that’s how I became deaf and some learning disability. I started losing my hearing between age 11 years old and 13 years old. Without hearing aids one for each ear I am big D for totally deaf. And with my hearing aids in I am big HH for hard of hearing. So I have to have my phone turned up at 100%. And today my friend she was over visiting with me today and she knows sign language and so she was signing in my hand that’s called tactile sign language to let me know what beautiful Molly Burke was saying and what she was showing. Also from a company called I can connect they purchased me a blue focus 14 braille display that I can link up to my iPhone and iPad. And they also purchased for me A Braille note touch 32 sale. Where I can take notes and do emails and more. Yes there’s a guy from that agency that came down and linked up my blue focus 14 boreal display to my iPhone. And to my iPad . And he taught me how to use it. His name is BAPIN he was born totally deaf. And then he had an accident playing with his brother something happen where I think he shot a baby into his brother by and got infection in both eyes and he is now both deaf blind. And he trained me on both of my braille displays the big one and the little one. If you have anymore questions and is curious please don’t feel shame to ask me. I am in my 50s or close to 50. And I know Molly is in her late 20s so that’s why I’m so sweet and kind to her because I’m old enough to be her mom I have nieces nephews around her age and two that’s older than her. But if you have anymore questions and curious please ask and it’s no problem that you’re always curious. It’s normal to be curious about something you not sure about or don’t know. Sending you lots of love always
@@inekogary8870 Ineko, I am not the person you responded to, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience with us all! I am about to start school to learn to design things with accessibility needs in mind. Reading about your tools and how your lovely friend helped you interpret this video today was truly helpful information for me, along with being genuinely interesting. You sound like a very kind and friendly person, and I hope you are doing well. 💖
@@inekogary8870 correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tactile Sign language how Helen Keller was taught? if memory serves me correctly, Hellen Keller was both deaf and blind. Hmm. I'll have to look that up. It sounds like you have adapted pretty well, and you have some hearing left, it sounds like. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
@@Optomistic3501 Good morning, yes tactile sign language is handover hand sign language just like Helen Keller. I was not born deaf or hard of hearing. But as my hearing continued to go down really fast between the age of 11 and 13. I started learning sign language. And then as a big D. for deaf that’s when I started learning sign language. First day was close to my face. And then when I lost the tiny vision I had close to my face then I started learning tactile sign language handover hand. With hearing aids in each ear I am big HH for heart of hearing. So I still need interpreters at all my appointments and when I go to the GUIDE DOGS school to get new GUIDE DOGS. They will do handover hand sign language called tactile tactile sign language like Helen Keller. What a difference is with Helen Keller I believe she only did the alphabet where I do not just do the alphabet I know words to the alphabet.
I'm 5'11 (at least that is what internet told me, I usually use metric system). I'm not blind but visually inpaired and when I don't wear glasses or contacts sometimes I hit the tip of my head with road sings or hanging shop signs etc, so I can really imagine this cane being usefull for tall people. Also, if it is interesting for anybody, in my coutry canes for bilnd are alternatetry white and red
Thanks for doing all these videos, it’s helpful to see how accessible devices are for people who are actually using them. In my job, I can see how an aid could help, but knowing what issues might crop up is so important to help clients too.
I love the sensor, that seemed to be the coolest bit by far to me. I'm not visually impaired so I don't know what it's really like being blind, but the option to hold out the sensor to specify where something is just seemed so cool and helpful! I live in a town where the GPS is always wonky on every app so something like that might not work great here either, but there's tons of lower-hanging plants and obstacles on sidewalks. I bet this cane could become a tall blind person's best friend!!
That is a shame about the mapping not working, and doesn't sound like user error unless you were supposed to do some sort of calibration thing. I would love to see updates--- and perhaps WeWalk will update their software, since far better technology absolutely exists! Though, about adding the red markings to the cane... Seems like that should be an easy fix?
I'm super glad for your channel. Thank you for posting your videos :). Not only do I enjoy watching you, but you help give me ideas on how to help my dad as he faces blindness from Glaucoma.
My friend has a WeWalk cane and was so psyched about having more freedom and she hates it. 😅 She says its a waste of $600, especially after it walked her into a street when navigating with no warning.
Hi Molly. I think you should definitely put in your two cents with the creator of the Wii walk and Let him know the good points and bad points of the cane. He seems to be very willing to improve this cane as much as possible.
the 'direction' issues might be tied to the device's "map settings" - if its sensors are set to a 'low accuracy' setting, it might not realize that you're standing beside the wall that IT thinks is 10 feet away... it's like tunnel vision (bad pun, sorry!) - if it's not right in front of you, it's not there...
I think the reason why it’s still USB is because other than newer iPhones the uk is pretty much only using usb, only the end that plugs into the device is moving towards USB-C. Also can you get your dad to paint the end red so it’s recognisable in your country
I’m sighted so this is obviously something I can’t relate to personally but I think this is really cool!! Everything tech has its beginnings and just get better and better as companies get feedback and become more innovative. I love your channel Molly I always enjoy hearing what you have to say and learning more about your community and how I can be a better help to those around me that are part of it.
It sounds like a large company like Google, that has a large database for GPS street instructions should use their resources to work with innovative technology like we walk! So the user has a seamless experience. I am interested to see where this technology goes.
As a former guard kid that went through many nights of band practice and hearing "last time" or "one more time" 12 times in a row each practice and now that app is doing the same to you but for a completely different reason.. First time?
I was shocked she said that a usb end is “outdated” I don’t have a lot of new or expensive devices but I think for most people a usb is still very common
I think she means microUSB are becoming outdated for USB 3.0. USB 3.0 cables are the same on both ends or are directly attached to a plug, so if molly has mostly stuff that uses USB 3.0 technology, she might not have many original USB ports. USB 3.0 also tends to be more accessible to blind people because they can be plugged in either way, unlike USBs and Micro USBs that have a correct and incorrect way to be plugged in, which might also be why Molly might have more tech with this new cable type.
@@katvelyte I get what you mean in terms of the USB 3.0 being more accessible because it can’t be put in the wrong way and this being a product for the blind. I felt like her main point was that she didn’t have any regular USB blocks or ports because she uses all USB 3.0. I get how that annoying for her that she’s going to have to get an adapter but at the same time I think they are appealing to the mass market. I know that I don’t have any USB 3.0 so if I was blind and bought this cane I would have to get a special adapter. I was just saying that in my opinion way more people have at least one USB port than people who only have USB 3.0
She was talking about microUSB ports, not usb in general? The regular usb end isnt what she was calling outdated. She was calling the microUSB end a little outdated, since most electronics in the US have switched to the USB-c port. Most of these still have a regular USB port on one end, and the USB-c port on the other end instead of the microUSB
@@katvelyte i guess but honestly it shouldn't matter because she said out loud what she meant? She specifically said USB-c and microUSB when she was talking
I am a sighted person. Though I use prescription glasses for distance vision. As someone with smaller hands the handle design seems incredibly clunky. I'm a little over five foot three inches. Just based on this video I would go with a different companies design if one was available. As a fellow commenter said and I agree with them, this product was probably almost exclusively tested with right handed people. On a side note I've never seen the type of tip that you use on your every day use cane. I'm learning new things with each video I watch!
I am not blind, but I feel like if I was one of the scariest things would be crossing a street. I feel like this we walk could help with sensing cars when crossing a street. I would love for it to be more accurate. I am planning on getting my masters degree in orientation and mobility and I have been learning Braille for 5 years and ASL for any deafblind people I meet in my career
Also, if it’s getting mapping basses of your phones GPS system, those aren’t always accurate. It would be cool (and it may do this) if it gave you the option to map your own personal locations too. Almost like correcting what has been pined as the location with it’s actual location. It would also help every user to have a personal map in storage for their day to day life or most frequently accessed locations.
🍚🍣🍋🥢 • *For Molly* • 🥢🍋🍣🍚 Sending you some virtual Salmon sashimi today. I alternate between dipping in the traditional wasabi + soy sauce & squeezing fresh lemon or lime on the delicious salmon. Plus rice, of course.
Hi Molly! Thanks for sharing this with us! I am wondering if the directions were slightly off either because the cane was being tilted/twisted a bit off to one side or the other than it's supposed to be. It sounds like the handle sections that you actual hold should be more ergonomic friendly/adaptable.... Like maybe being able to twist the section your hand holds onto one way or the other slightly so the sensor can still remain in it's correct positioning even if your natural grip isn't the same as the way they want you to hold it...or even having the option to put a different sized grip section/handle so that it can be held comfortably by larger and smaller hands.
Could the directions be off by you moving the cane back and fourth, like what if with this one you just hold it out in front of you and don’t use it like other canes where you move it with your steps because it’s supposed to test out the obstacles so as you moved it to the left it thought you had turned a little and wanted to over correct that movement? ( I’m sorry if that wasn’t explained well)
I have a sort of weird unrelated question. If you were out on your own, and a stranger grabbed your hand and said "run run run" would you trust that person and follow their advice, or would you resist? I'm asking because a while ago I was out, waiting to cross the street when a blind guy with a dog stopped next to me. About that time I saw a car was going to run the red light and there was going to be a crash. There wasn't any time to do anything, so I grabbed his hand and said "run run run" and started pulling him out of the way, just as the cars collided. One of the cars, out of control came onto the sidewalk right where we had been standing. Fortunately the guy didn't resist my pulling him because it was a really close call. If he had resisted we surely would have been hit. Only after the accident did I think how weird and scary it must have been to be grabbed by a stranger without warning and pulled away. I don't know if he heard the crash before it happened. It was really terrifying all around.
i think maybe this tech would be good as a clip on device you can put on a bag or backpack strap? so it can be used with all canes but you still have it recognise stuff waist up
Hi just got my wee walk Orcan after watching your video, I am not sure if you had the same problem, when I connected the unit to the cane, it rattles, and it was not secure. Did you have the same problem?, I am from the UK and it was your video that inspired me to get one., I am going to be contacting Sight and technology to see if they can come up with some answers, how did you find using your cane was your unit rattling when you screwed it onto the cane?, This is the problem I have, which is so bizarre. Kind regards, Brian.
It looks like a very cool cane accessory and I hope they using all the feedback they get and it gets better. but it looks like a very nice thing if you are alone and are a bit clumsy and making a lot of things easier
I think its a great invention and excellent use of technology to help with accessibility. The handle does seem... too large but I understand the need for computer hardware
am I the only one that thinks that in the box it looks like a vacuum also, I love that they had to ask their dad what they are moving toward me to Molly me? also, pt 2 are you left handed
I've been very interested to see how this new cane works. I'm also excited to hear you say, "my boyfriend"because we fans haven't heard about him much and we're wondering if he was still in the picture. We want to see you happy and cuddly with someone as cute and sweet as your boyfriend
maybe it would work better with your android phone and try contacting your air pod to your android (idk for sure but I heard you can ) or maybe get a deferent pair of true wireless bluetooth headphone and yes micro USB are outdate but you can still buy USB wall adapter on amazon . I personally dont think all USB are outdate but I do understand more and more company are moving trioses type c to type c instead of USB love your video
I don't have a TikTok but I would definitely like an update on this! I'd like to know if the product actually works or if what you identified here isn't user error.
Even though my first experience using WeWalk wasn't the best, I'm certain some of it was user error and I know it will take some getting used to! I can certainly see some of the benefits to it and think it would be most useful to those who frequently find themselves hitting their heads. I would love to see the price point become a bit more affordable and can't wait to see what the WeWalk team does next! Follow @mollyburkeofficial on TikTok for updates on my Smart Cane experience!

I've heard that it isn't the best in navigation not just from you. I went on review channels which had the same issue. The pre downloaded map on there is not in north america that one is pretty good. But since its not where you live it has to learn that. However the only thing I could think of for the 12-2:00 is the sweeping motion might be confusing it. That there just needs more work done. But I'm still glad that you were kind and you still want to continue this journey. I would totally be here to watch an update to this in a few months!
Maybe there is a time zone setting you need to do
hang on... usb cables have DIFFRENT cable ends that go IN to the brick in the US? I thought it was universal that you could use any cable with the same brick O_O.
Molly I definitely agree people can say you can’t break tech it’s it’s just you know there you can just reset it but what people don’t realise is that it’s pretty intimidating when you can’t see and you can’t just pick up a manual with instructions it does suck but as we all know nothing is impossible

That’s a really good observation and idea!
I wondered the same.
This is a statement on health care in the US, but when you said the cane cost $600, my first thought was “Oh, that’s not too bad.” I’ve seen so many pieces of equipment costing thousands and thousands of dollars that $600 seems so small in comparison. Being disabled in the US is EXPENSIVE. 🤷🏻♀️
That is so true! It didn't seem to bad to me, but then again it depends on what you are accustomed to I guess.
Canada too, accessibility devices aren’t generally covered here
She said $600 Canadian. She lives in Canada born in Ontario Canada lives in a diff province
@@natashaw401 there is a slight difference between the US and Canadian dollar, but that difference isn't enough to make up for how ridiculously expensive health care is in America. For example, my pain treatments are $800 per infusion.
I've heard that a lot of medical equipment like this is upcharged because insurance is expected to cover at least a portion. Compared to a regular one, (quick Google search) that's between $15 and $50, $600 is a lot, and I'm guessing insurance would say you can just use the basic one.
It sounds like this cane is a good start. The app and directions needs to be perfect and they aren't there yet. It also sounds like they need to make a children's size handle for children and children sized adults
Definitely agree on the size. Personally, I don't have tiny hands, but I do have neuropathy that affects my arms and hands, so I would be fatigued and in pain pretty quickly from the size and weight of it.
Molly mentioned the material it was made of was lighter than her aluminum cane, so it sounds like they've already made steps with the weight. That said, the handle could definitely be more ergonomic.
I'm sighted, but I do a lot of hiking with hiking sticks. It's a different handhold and different purpose, but the same principle applies. I've found a good rule of thumb is to find a stick with a width that matches my relaxed, curled hand position. For me, that's a diameter of about an inch and a half or four centimeters. Whatever I'm holding can be a tad larger, but if it's close to that size, it's very easy to hold on to and use, even if it's a bit heavier.
When travel is allowed, I'd love a series about mobility and accessibility for the blind in different countries. You could meet up with other blind people from that country and have them show you how they do things and how their country and city helps or hinders them. I feel like the Australian blind people I know do stuff quite differently to you.
It's pretty normal to have a USB charger on one end in Europe. I didn't know that in America you're moving fully towards usb-c on both ends. Here we usually have a USB-USB-C pairing.
Its only common with Apple products and more influencers use Apple. Most Android uses usb-usb-c with the brick.
@@purpleluver50 aaaah okay. I haven't owned a new apple product in like 12years or so, so no wonder I find that weird. Thanks!
she's mentioned this before i believe but usb-c is more accessible for blind people because there is no correct orientation to plug the usb in
@@sierrarosie if she has mentioned it before, I haven't seen that video/don't recall it. However, aside from the point that pretty much all new USB-rechargeable tech is going/has gone to USB-C on at least the device end, my immediate thought on the cable was "but... wouldn't it make more sense for it to be USB-C, so no issues of which way up to make the connection? Seems weird to design accessibility tech for blind people and use the more outdated, less accessibility-friendly option." I felt it to be even weirder when adding the point that it was _designed_ by blind people.
I love how you where still so nice about the company even after a bad experience and how you kept a open mind and said I'm going to tweak it and see what happens. I love your channel and you seem so genuine and lovely 💜
Kind of a weird comment, but I'm really glad that the youtube comments aren't being mean or accusing Molly of "faking her blindness." The amount of people on Tiktok that were saying "oh, how does she know what colour it is?" or "Why does she need sunglasses if she's blind?" really disappointed me. Some people on there are just toxic and rude as hell
I'd love to see more about this cane and/or others, if they even exist. I really like your content Molly. Since I am not blind, I have to confess that I don't know much about how blind people deal with everyday occurences and obstacles and I learn a lot by watching your videos. Keep up the great work and have a nice day. Greetings from Switzerland.
Just FYI there was some blurring around Molly at one point when she was walking outside (intentional I assume for safety), but then none at all in the next segment where you can clearly see what the streets and buildings look like as she's walking. Letting you know in case you want to edit that segment.
I figured that the blur was to obscure identifiable details of her neighborhood, and it's not blurred when they're not somewhere close enough to home to be revealing of her location.
As a young, sighted designer who’s interested in universal design this was fascinating! I love your videos Molly!
I am so happy that you finally decided to make this video! 😍 I have heard wonderful things about this smart cane and the company that created it! 💗 And I would love to see an update on your experience with this smart cane in the future.
It would be great if they'd adapt their canes better to different body sizes. In this case, perhaps a smaller handle option!
I mean ... it is obviously a technology thing. It isn't like they made it huge on purpose.
@@rayhs1984 you’ve seen how small iphones have gotten over the years, i’m sure the cane can get smaller too! Just maybe cost more to produce..
@@Matt-oz1dm yep. They don't make phones for women's hands that are usually smaller. Remember how tiny phones used to be? Even my first 2 smart phones were smaller than anything that's on the market right now.
@@Matt-oz1dm I'm sure by the 4th or 5th generation (in 5-10 years) of this cane/tech, the version in this video will look like the mainframe computers of the 1960s, compared to a laptop...I appreciate that they wanted to get this to market as soon as possible to start helping people (and, let's face it, to make money to be able to stay in business), but from Molly's review, it definitely seems like it needs some improvement (and perhaps better instructions & training for users, and maybe even instruction for the user's O&M instructor, so they can help teach their client - in person, & customized for their needs & abilities & location - on this new tech?)
Or like a hight changer thing. you you can bring it up or down depending on how tall you are
So cool that you were able to find some more resources and see how they may help you individually!!! Cant wait to watch 💕
Molly I loved hearing you mention your dad so many times! I've watched you for a few years now and especially through the pandemic and I know how much you and your mom missed your dad so it makes me so happy to hear you guys all together and spending time together! Also awesome to see him helping you navigate things and get your cane set up with you since we usually always see your mom!
it's interesting to see the differences between canes. here in the Netherlands the cane i use is white with some red stripes around it (i'm legally blind). I never really thought of canes being different everywhere and it's cool to see/know the differences.
Such a cool idea! Interested to see further updates. I’m sighted, but I have other disabilities and find innovative disability tech to be such a great and exciting market that so much more can be done with! ALSO: I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but your final description tag for words on screen gives the time stamp “35:51”, but it isn’t an active time stamp since it isn’t an active time in this video. I think it’s meant to be at “29:05” as that is when the associated words are on the video. I hope that’s helpful. 💖
it seems like a sensor on a pin or brooch you could wear on your chest that connected to an app would be more helpful and wouldn't add weight to the cane.
That's a really good idea, I think maybe they chose the cane handle because it would be more stable and harder to cover up, but I'm sure there's a solution.
this exists. It's called a buzzclip. The angle is wrong. I found it fundamentally unhelpful, and my arms and hair kept setting it off.
I haven't tried a we walk, but a cheeper version that had the same kind of sensor setup, I live in a busy city, and didn't find it helpful either. The vibrations from the sensor interfered with the vibrations I feel for with my cane, and the vibrations from my cane interfered with the vibrations from the handle, and it got set off by everything, like someone walking near me, etc.
Honestly, all these buzzy obstacle alerters are just a distraction to me,
A thought comes to mind regarding the angular mistake, guiding you to two-o'-clock instead of twelve. If you're used to holding the other cane differently, was the smart-cane held straight when it guided you wrong? Then again it's like a sixty degree divergence, so I guess that's something you would have noticed when you were solving for that.
That or I wonder if the sweeping technique is throwing it off. Maybe the technique is different in UK or maybe Molly does wider or narrower sweeps than most and their software adds a certain number of cm to give the direction and doesn't calculate to match Molly's technique. Lots of possibilities!
And she's also left handed and it was probably made for and by primarily right handed people
I feel like it would make more sense to have the sensor around your neck like a necklace or something, it does look pretty bulky and heavy to have to carry.
Yeah definitely! This tech on a necklace while using a normal cane would be great I think
Considering it was made by blind people for blind people this is probably their preferred option rather than a necklace or it cant hold the tech in a small necklace
wearable sensors exist, but the angle is wrong, and arms and hair set them off
Going back and watching a new video every day. This was the one I chose to watch today - and btw: When you demonstrated how you were taught to use the traditional US cane, that's how most (if not all) of the cane users used theirs as the camp I worked at in the mid 90's.
Molly have you ever heard about the strap technology with that though you’re not using the cane at all it’s basically just a strap that you are across your chest and then it detects obstacles waist tight head height although I wouldn’t recommend it and I haven’t used it but I’ve heard of it
Hi molly, I used to work at a technology store, and the micro USB is standard for technology that isn’t cell phones. 99% of tech (like headphones, and other smaller stuff is micro USB. :) this is so exciting for you!! :)
Do you feel like it's gonna stay that way? I feel like more and more tech that I get has USB c over micro USB lately. E.g. The PS5 controllers use USB c.
@@koconnell968 I’ve noticed things are changing too. I really hope so!
From UK, I've always been taught the exact same way, index finger down the flat and gripped. They generally say the flat should be pointed up but I never do and I've had O and M since I was 8, now 22, and no one has ever said I couldn't have it tilted the same way you do... and I don't know many people who don't hold their cane like that!!
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Glad I could clear anything up for anyone curious 😊🐷
I'm also from the UK and have been taught the same cane grip of pointer / index finger on the flat part of the grip.
I hold my cane more to the side, as holding it towards my belly button hurts my arm. I've been told I have a lazy cane technique lol
Does it have a left handed / right handed setting? I noticed you're a left habded usee, and was thinking maybe it was telling you 2 when you expected 12 because of the orientation of the handle being offset to the left.
What ever the hand is, it's still wrong direction really. Imagine her holding it in the right arm, 2 would be even more directly to the wall. Also canes are for left and right handed people always. Although you can order custom handles to your cane.
I feel like if you start learning a skill with one hand, it’s easier than the other hand, even if it’s the non-dominant you use first. I’m left handed, but can do some things right handed from the start
I was just thinking thr app maybe had a setting to specify how you hole it. Like how a firbir or apple watch does, so the device knows how to properly interpret the motion.
@@leahwolfe-fratiani8646 Yea there might be settings for that. But I'd say that something in that device is just not working properly for some reason.
Hi Leah - this is a great question. Our smart cane does not have a setting for right/left handers, but we wanted to mention that it is completely interchangeable for righties, lefties, and ambidextries (okay, we made the last word up).
Omg the "what's this dad?" in regards to the micro USB was so sweet and endearing! Reminds me of things I ask my dad as well, so cute Molly!
I'm in the UK and was taught to hold the long cane the same way as you, with my pointer finger on the flat edge.
We hold our canes the same as you here in the UK :)
Hi Molly Mel again, regarding the WeWalk Cane, I sadly don't have this. But, I heard of how assistive it is, being 20/200 in my right eye with tunnel vision, I tend to veer off to the wrong direction alot, or I would have a sighted human guide, as I have seasonal allergies, so I can't have a guide dog. This cane is interesting, I like how it enables you to walk on your own. Very innovative.
For the clock directions, it may because it is exclusively right handed. Since you’re left handed, the handle is flipped the other direction, so maybe it doesnt adjust for that? Just a guess. Im sure its hard enough being blind, and then adding on another kind of minority group with the left hand, must be difficult to find certain items that are safe and usable for both cases.
So in college my disability advisor was blind which by the way was super cool having another disabled person be my disability advisor because one of my biggest insecurities with self advocacy is understanding when I'm being honest with my ability and when I'm just being lazy and down on myself and having someone older who also has legitimate limitations, although I'm autistic and not blind, it did help a lot. Anyways, not the point. The point I was going to make was that one time I asked her what was the difference between a dog and a cane cause like she uses a cane and this other guy who came into the student lab uses a cane but this girl used a guide dog. And I think she kind of explained why some people prefer a dog to a cane but I just remember she said "I decided to use a cane because I don't have to feed a cane and I've already raised three children".
This product clearly has some really great potential. I feel like if the company was willing to partner with people like Molly to work on better physical designs and maybe if they could get someone from Apple to help with the app this could really be a major game changer for canes like this!
I totally agree I prefer GUIDE DOGS over my cane. Because being both deaf blind. I feel more safe with my GUIDE DOGS and more confident. I’ve been a guide dog users for 25 years.
I don’t mean to be rude but I am genuinely curious. How do you go about watching a video when you are deaf and blind? I understand when you are blind you can listen and have someone explain what they see and when your deaf you can watch it but you can’t hear it. Some explanation would be much appreciated.
@@olivia-zzushi
You’re not being rude I know you’re curious and that’s totally OK. Because I am happy to explain to you so you can understand. Thank you for asking.
I’ve been blind since I’ve been six months old in the hands of my birth mother. Meaning she left me in the car at six months old here in Tampa Florida on Causeway Beach. With the windows rolled up I rolled off of the seat into plastic and I suffocated. And that’s how I became deaf and some learning disability. I started losing my hearing between age 11 years old and 13 years old. Without hearing aids one for each ear I am big D for totally deaf. And with my hearing aids in I am big HH for hard of hearing. So I have to have my phone turned up at 100%. And today my friend she was over visiting with me today and she knows sign language and so she was signing in my hand that’s called tactile sign language to let me know what beautiful Molly Burke was saying and what she was showing. Also from a company called I can connect they purchased me a blue focus 14 braille display that I can link up to my iPhone and iPad. And they also purchased for me A Braille note touch 32 sale. Where I can take notes and do emails and more. Yes there’s a guy from that agency that came down and linked up my blue focus 14 boreal display to my iPhone. And to my iPad . And he taught me how to use it. His name is BAPIN he was born totally deaf. And then he had an accident playing with his brother something happen where I think he shot a baby into his brother by and got infection in both eyes and he is now both deaf blind. And he trained me on both of my braille displays the big one and the little one. If you have anymore questions and is curious please don’t feel shame to ask me. I am in my 50s or close to 50. And I know Molly is in her late 20s so that’s why I’m so sweet and kind to her because I’m old enough to be her mom I have nieces nephews around her age and two that’s older than her. But if you have anymore questions and curious please ask and it’s no problem that you’re always curious. It’s normal to be curious about something you not sure about or don’t know. Sending you lots of love always
@@inekogary8870 Ineko, I am not the person you responded to, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience with us all! I am about to start school to learn to design things with accessibility needs in mind. Reading about your tools and how your lovely friend helped you interpret this video today was truly helpful information for me, along with being genuinely interesting.
You sound like a very kind and friendly person, and I hope you are doing well. 💖
@@inekogary8870 correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tactile Sign language how Helen Keller was taught? if memory serves me correctly, Hellen Keller was both deaf and blind. Hmm. I'll have to look that up. It sounds like you have adapted pretty well, and you have some hearing left, it sounds like. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
@@Optomistic3501
Good morning, yes tactile sign language is handover hand sign language just like Helen Keller. I was not born deaf or hard of hearing. But as my hearing continued to go down really fast between the age of 11 and 13. I started learning sign language. And then as a big D. for deaf that’s when I started learning sign language. First day was close to my face. And then when I lost the tiny vision I had close to my face then I started learning tactile sign language handover hand. With hearing aids in each ear I am big HH for heart of hearing. So I still need interpreters at all my appointments and when I go to the GUIDE DOGS school to get new GUIDE DOGS. They will do handover hand sign language called tactile tactile sign language like Helen Keller. What a difference is with Helen Keller I believe she only did the alphabet where I do not just do the alphabet I know words to the alphabet.
I'm 5'11 (at least that is what internet told me, I usually use metric system). I'm not blind but visually inpaired and when I don't wear glasses or contacts sometimes I hit the tip of my head with road sings or hanging shop signs etc, so I can really imagine this cane being usefull for tall people.
Also, if it is interesting for anybody, in my coutry canes for bilnd are alternatetry white and red
I really want another fashion video soon, those are my favorites. Love you molly ❤️💖(you have great fashion sense I’m jealous lol)
I’m not blind but I still love videos where people test stuff and also its Molly so of course Imma watch it
The cane slid right under an obstacle and my face.. did not 😂 the look on your face when you said that. You are beautiful Molly.
Thanks for doing all these videos, it’s helpful to see how accessible devices are for people who are actually using them. In my job, I can see how an aid could help, but knowing what issues might crop up is so important to help clients too.
This popped up in my recommendations and I am soo glad I am here ❤️
I love the sensor, that seemed to be the coolest bit by far to me. I'm not visually impaired so I don't know what it's really like being blind, but the option to hold out the sensor to specify where something is just seemed so cool and helpful! I live in a town where the GPS is always wonky on every app so something like that might not work great here either, but there's tons of lower-hanging plants and obstacles on sidewalks. I bet this cane could become a tall blind person's best friend!!
That is a shame about the mapping not working, and doesn't sound like user error unless you were supposed to do some sort of calibration thing. I would love to see updates--- and perhaps WeWalk will update their software, since far better technology absolutely exists!
Though, about adding the red markings to the cane... Seems like that should be an easy fix?
I’d love to see an update! This is super interesting to me, as my vision is worsening and eventually I’ll need to start using assistance. Super cool!
I'm super glad for your channel. Thank you for posting your videos :). Not only do I enjoy watching you, but you help give me ideas on how to help my dad as he faces blindness from Glaucoma.
“I am the size of an 11 year old child” had me rolling 😂
I definitely don't and have never been taught to keep my index finger out! I'm also Canadian and even did some of my training in Ontario. Interesting!
I wish 1,000 more people would realize the awesome amazingness that is Molly Burke and subscribe 💜
Molly is so close to 2 million subscribers... so proud of you Molly
Can I just say it is very satisfying when people stop and let you pass or a crowd parts for you.
It's cute how it responded to you when you were doing the finger gestures.
you shoes also look comfortable and cute when you are out walking! I never found a good sandal this season!
My friend has a WeWalk cane and was so psyched about having more freedom and she hates it. 😅 She says its a waste of $600, especially after it walked her into a street when navigating with no warning.
I do like the idea of having a touch screen on the cane so you don’t have to have your phone in your hand as often. Promising.
Hi Molly.
I think you should definitely put in your two cents with the creator of the Wii walk and Let him know the good points and bad points of the cane. He seems to be very willing to improve this cane as much as possible.
the 'direction' issues might be tied to the device's "map settings" - if its sensors are set to a 'low accuracy' setting, it might not realize that you're standing beside the wall that IT thinks is 10 feet away... it's like tunnel vision (bad pun, sorry!) - if it's not right in front of you, it's not there...
I've been looking forward to hearing about your experience using this! Can't wait to watch Molly!! Thanks for all your awesome vids!!
I think the reason why it’s still USB is because other than newer iPhones the uk is pretty much only using usb, only the end that plugs into the device is moving towards USB-C.
Also can you get your dad to paint the end red so it’s recognisable in your country
I'm definitely interested in a one-month follow-up on this!
I would definitely love an update video after you get accustomed to the WeWalk.
I’m sighted so this is obviously something I can’t relate to personally but I think this is really cool!! Everything tech has its beginnings and just get better and better as companies get feedback and become more innovative. I love your channel Molly I always enjoy hearing what you have to say and learning more about your community and how I can be a better help to those around me that are part of it.
Great review Molly!✨
Something that you might check in settings on your phone is making sure precise location is on for the app so it knows exactly where you are
To be fair she said her Apple maps worked much better on the walk home
Yes! Please do a follow up video! This is fascinating!
Been waiting for this for ages, so exited to watch!! Love you! ❤️
It sounds like a large company like Google, that has a large database for GPS street instructions should use their resources to work with innovative technology like we walk! So the user has a seamless experience. I am interested to see where this technology goes.
As a former guard kid that went through many nights of band practice and hearing "last time" or "one more time" 12 times in a row each practice and now that app is doing the same to you but for a completely different reason..
First time?
Would love to see more cane videos!
I was shocked she said that a usb end is “outdated” I don’t have a lot of new or expensive devices but I think for most people a usb is still very common
I think she means microUSB are becoming outdated for USB 3.0. USB 3.0 cables are the same on both ends or are directly attached to a plug, so if molly has mostly stuff that uses USB 3.0 technology, she might not have many original USB ports. USB 3.0 also tends to be more accessible to blind people because they can be plugged in either way, unlike USBs and Micro USBs that have a correct and incorrect way to be plugged in, which might also be why Molly might have more tech with this new cable type.
@@katvelyte I get what you mean in terms of the USB 3.0 being more accessible because it can’t be put in the wrong way and this being a product for the blind. I felt like her main point was that she didn’t have any regular USB blocks or ports because she uses all USB 3.0. I get how that annoying for her that she’s going to have to get an adapter but at the same time I think they are appealing to the mass market. I know that I don’t have any USB 3.0 so if I was blind and bought this cane I would have to get a special adapter. I was just saying that in my opinion way more people have at least one USB port than people who only have USB 3.0
She was talking about microUSB ports, not usb in general? The regular usb end isnt what she was calling outdated. She was calling the microUSB end a little outdated, since most electronics in the US have switched to the USB-c port. Most of these still have a regular USB port on one end, and the USB-c port on the other end instead of the microUSB
@@emmydodgers11 its possible she had a blind girl moment and held up the regular USB end instead of the microUSB end when she was talking lol
@@katvelyte i guess but honestly it shouldn't matter because she said out loud what she meant? She specifically said USB-c and microUSB when she was talking
I am a sighted person. Though I use prescription glasses for distance vision. As someone with smaller hands the handle design seems incredibly clunky. I'm a little over five foot three inches. Just based on this video I would go with a different companies design if one was available. As a fellow commenter said and I agree with them, this product was probably almost exclusively tested with right handed people. On a side note I've never seen the type of tip that you use on your every day use cane. I'm learning new things with each video I watch!
I am not blind, but I feel like if I was one of the scariest things would be crossing a street. I feel like this we walk could help with sensing cars when crossing a street. I would love for it to be more accurate.
I am planning on getting my masters degree in orientation and mobility and I have been learning Braille for 5 years and ASL for any deafblind people I meet in my career
I've been so excited for this review!!!
I think the way you ended up holding it is exactly what they meant! You got this thanks for sharing your expirience :)
Also, if it’s getting mapping basses of your phones GPS system, those aren’t always accurate. It would be cool (and it may do this) if it gave you the option to map your own personal locations too. Almost like correcting what has been pined as the location with it’s actual location. It would also help every user to have a personal map in storage for their day to day life or most frequently accessed locations.
I’ve been waiting for this video! Love you Molly💕

You can put red tape on the bottom to fix the color problem!
Hi Molly! Thanks for sharing this with us! I am wondering if the directions were slightly off either because the cane was being tilted/twisted a bit off to one side or the other than it's supposed to be. It sounds like the handle sections that you actual hold should be more ergonomic friendly/adaptable.... Like maybe being able to twist the section your hand holds onto one way or the other slightly so the sensor can still remain in it's correct positioning even if your natural grip isn't the same as the way they want you to hold it...or even having the option to put a different sized grip section/handle so that it can be held comfortably by larger and smaller hands.
I was taught to hold my cane with my pointer finger flat against the flat side of the cane handle
Moments to be cherished
I love your tech reviews as a sighted person!
Could the directions be off by you moving the cane back and fourth, like what if with this one you just hold it out in front of you and don’t use it like other canes where you move it with your steps because it’s supposed to test out the obstacles so as you moved it to the left it thought you had turned a little and wanted to over correct that movement? ( I’m sorry if that wasn’t explained well)
The manual said to use it like a normal cane (sweeping or two taps) so it's definitely designed to be moving around as you would with normal cane use
Why was I so excited to see this video when I'm sighted? 🤣 Just as soon has I heard the words "smart cane" I had to know more.
I have a sort of weird unrelated question. If you were out on your own, and a stranger grabbed your hand and said "run run run" would you trust that person and follow their advice, or would you resist?
I'm asking because a while ago I was out, waiting to cross the street when a blind guy with a dog stopped next to me. About that time I saw a car was going to run the red light and there was going to be a crash. There wasn't any time to do anything, so I grabbed his hand and said "run run run" and started pulling him out of the way, just as the cars collided.
One of the cars, out of control came onto the sidewalk right where we had been standing.
Fortunately the guy didn't resist my pulling him because it was a really close call. If he had resisted we surely would have been hit.
Only after the accident did I think how weird and scary it must have been to be grabbed by a stranger without warning and pulled away.
I don't know if he heard the crash before it happened. It was really terrifying all around.
My son is a famous musician and a software engineer I’m so happy for this he’s blind since birth leebers
You can use your own usb-c to micro USB cable also and use your own brick.
This sounds like a very cool gadget for those users who love their bit of tech.
i think maybe this tech would be good as a clip on device you can put on a bag or backpack strap? so it can be used with all canes but you still have it recognise stuff waist up
Hi just got my wee walk Orcan after watching your video, I am not sure if you had the same problem, when I connected the unit to the cane, it rattles, and it was not secure. Did you have the same problem?, I am from the UK and it was your video that inspired me to get one., I am going to be contacting Sight and technology to see if they can come up with some answers, how did you find using your cane was your unit rattling when you screwed it onto the cane?, This is the problem I have, which is so bizarre. Kind regards, Brian.
It looks like a very cool cane accessory and I hope they using all the feedback they get and it gets better. but it looks like a very nice thing if you are alone and are a bit clumsy and making a lot of things easier
I think its a great invention and excellent use of technology to help with accessibility. The handle does seem... too large but I understand the need for computer hardware
That is a awesome cane Molly!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much for the kudos, Lauren! Our cane's awesomeness comes second to you. 💙
am I the only one that thinks that in the box it looks like a vacuum
also, I love that they had to ask their dad what they are moving toward me to Molly me?
also, pt 2 are you left handed
Hi Molly
More updates please & thank you. 😁
I've been very interested to see how this new cane works. I'm also excited to hear you say, "my boyfriend"because we fans haven't heard about him much and we're wondering if he was still in the picture. We want to see you happy and cuddly with someone as cute and sweet as your boyfriend
I love this video! This is amazing, I am hoping that you can get it to work for you.
I love 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 your videos.
