Our Story
WeWalk’s story started nearly a decade before its formation with a team dedicated to creating tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of communities with disabilities. After an auditory description system for movie theaters and an award-winning indoor navigation system, we rolled our sleeves up to tackle the challenge of modernizing the traditional white cane so that our community does not have to tackle any more challenges in this age of unprecedented speed and unlimited opportunity.
