The Marchena Lightupcane project has been selected for the Heroes of Amsterdam program (Site is in Dutch only).
Work is currently underway on a genuine Virtual Reality 360-degree film about the luminous white cane.
On 20 June at 8 pm this film, with the other initiatives of Helden van Amsterdam, will premiere in Impact Hub in Amsterdam.
To be continued.
This camara will be used to capture the video of how the Marchena Lightup Cane actually works. The result will be a 360 degree movie!
Sorry, this entry is only available in Nederlands.
In this video Sam reviews the updated Marchena Cane. It is a spontaneous review during a live stream and we enjoyed seing Sam react to the improvements and brain storm his ideas about how we can improve for the next versions.
We aim to blow Sam away when we send him the newest innovations next time.
What difference a Maker can make!
What may not so obvious is that Sam’s original cane was adapted by Jesse Estridge, a maker in Lexington Kentucky where Sam lives.
Jesse adapted the cane using very basic instructions and the 3D print files. Three cuts, some epoxy glue and presto!
This is so amazing! The result proves that any maker can build adapt and enhance the Marchena Cane.
