Trialled and Developed with Ian Edwards, The Blind Chef

Ian Edwards also known as The Blind Chef helped us develop the the Omni-Sense and agreed to trial it for us. After six months of extensive use, this is what he had to say:

"It works well for me both inside and outside. The weight of the attachment is no heavier than a normal ball but it has a lot more wear. On different surfaces it gives me a better feeling, I know where I am, what I am doing; with the sounds as well as the rollers, they make a difference compared to a normal ball. The feedback in my arm changes depending on the surface I am on."

Omni-wheel Technology In White Cane Tips.

Omni-wheels are different from regular wheels in that they have specialised rollers attached to them around the circumference of the main wheel disc. These rollers allow a wheel to move easily in all directions, similar to a caster wheel, but much more fluidly and don't catch or stick. Rotacaster's world-leading, omni-wheel technology is unique due to its patented construction, non-corrosive materials and unrivaled strength and durability. Find out more about omni-wheels here.
