2. DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS

As far as deployment. I am intending to manufacture 3 of each design. I would like to have one for myself, my sister and my ex-co-worker at Disney. I do not intend to launch as a company as the content is all copyrighted. It is very complicated to sell or make any profits off of anything with Disney / Star Wars information in it.

  Unfortunately,  do to COVID i do not have any evidence of feedback. If completed I would have had video and audio as well as written reviews.

For user testing I was planning on creating an obstacle course. I was going to utilize hay bails as obsticles. I would allow seeing users to blind fold themselves. Instruct on how to use the cane and proceed through the obstacles with time. I would present the winner time with a candy bar. I have been in contact with the disability department on campus as well as with teh VEMI lab for assistance qith access to blind students on campus. I would allow them to use it for a day with my cane to allow to test for durability and functionality with multiple blind users. I would personally use it for a week to get my own feedback.
