The See Me Cane is a lighted white cane designed to help blind pedestrians be seen

Created by a DeafBlind inventor after being hit by cars three times.

The See Me Cane is currently in development.
This project exists to improve safety, create opportunity, and build community.

This Is What Crossing the Street Looks Like

For blind individuals, crossing the street can be dangerous — especially at night or in low-visibility conditions.

Drivers are often looking for cars, not people using white canes.

The See Me Cane is designed to increase visibility without changing how a traditional white cane feels or functions.

About

Kelvin Crosby

Why I’m Building the See Me Cane

I was born with hearing loss and later lost my vision due to Usher syndrome type 2.

As my vision faded, navigating streets became increasingly dangerous.
I’ve been hit by cars three different times.

The See Me Cane exists because this problem is real — and because blind lives deserve safety, dignity, and opportunity.

Blind Pedestrians Are Often Hard to See

  • Traditional white canes are not illuminated

  • Drivers may not recognize blind pedestrians in time

  • 1 in 3 blind people will be hit by a car at least once

  • Night and dusk are especially dangerous

Visibility can save lives.

Current Status

More Than a Cane — A Bigger Vision

The goal of the See Me Cane goes beyond safety.

This project is designed so that blind individuals can help build, assemble, and sell the See Me Cane.

The long-term vision is to:
• Create meaningful work opportunities
• Build community-led manufacturing
• Empower blind individuals through ownership and purpose

The See Me Cane is about safety and sustainability.

Current Status of the See Me Cane

The See Me Cane is not for sale yet.

Current focus includes:
• Material testing
• Design refinement
• Durability and safety testing
• Preparing for accessible manufacturing

Funds raised now support development and production preparation.
