A Nonempirical Comparison of the Polaron and Mowat Sensor.

Moore, Karyl A.

RE:view, v26 n4 p181-83 Win 1995

This article compares two electronic aids that send out an elliptical cone of ultrasonic sound that bounces back as a usable information signal for individuals with blindness. The Polaron is better for people who are predominantly route travelers or with limited hand use. The Mowat Sensor is better for travelers in a variety of environments. (JDD)
