We bring you a smart cane for the blind—with enhanced capabilities that reduces head-level and fall accidents—to help your loved ones gain confidence, mobility freedom, and independence.

We embarked on this journey to help our late grandmother to cope with her loss of vision due to cataract and glaucoma. To better understand visual impairment and the daily hurdles needed to overcome, we took initiative to understand it from their perspective. The standard white canes are unable to detect obstacles; especially those above knee level. No major innovation of the white cane for the visually impaired has been made yet, whereas guide dogs are expensive and pose acceptance challenges especially in our country (Malaysia).

As a result, we created the BAWA Cane to fill this gap.

We are a team of passionate people who strongly believe it is our mission to revolutionize the way visually impaired could better perceive their environment by empowering them with technological support. 

Our believe is that even without sight, there is still effective navigation support.

The BAWA Cane Team’s mission is to revolutionize the way visually impaired could better perceive their environment by empowering them with technological support.

BAWACANE (S) SDN BHD (a subsidiary of Wangi Lai PLT) is a partner of Infineon Technologies Co-Innovation Space which supports start-ups in viable semiconductor solutions development and fast-tracks their product prototype.
