Everything the Guide Dog can do, now in Technology
The guide dog pulls your hand, the .lumen Glasses pull your head. Powered by our patented haptic interface.
Haptic guidance
If a guide dog pulls your hand to show you where to go, the .lumen glasses do the same through gentle vibrations on your forehead. They don’t just tell you where obstacles are, they guide you safely through them.
The Glasses will understand obstacles above or below the ground and keep you away from them.

They compute 100 times a second where you can safely walk. That's better than the guide dog.

The haptic feedback is incredible. The vibrations are so precise that navigating safely becomes effortless. I walked around with the glasses without any fear of bumping into obstacles, and the risk of hitting my head, like it sometimes happens with the cane, completely disappears.
Silvia C.
The .lumen glasses are very intuitive. I use them both indoors and outdoors. Even though I have a guide dog, I’m gradually preparing myself to navigate more using the cane and the glasses. Clifford, my dog, is nearing retirement, and .lumen helps me keep the freedom he has given me for so many years.
