I am glad to see people using creativity to try to solve concerns, but after looking at the product I struggle with seeing why it would be helpful.? It does not allow for further distancing.? It still has the person¡¯s hand very close to the guide¡¯s arm. Why is this any better than wearing a glove?? Unless we use something rigid along the same principle of a guide rope, it is not going to give subtle body movement cues from the guide. Would a pvc or other rigid baton give more info? ?How about using the cane as a guide stick? ? I see the issue being more the distance between the guide and the person, not the location of the touch.? Wearing a sleeve or having the person wear a glove seems more appropriate to me. ?

Was reading an article from Forbes on the challenges people who are blind and visually impaired are experiencing with re-opening across the globe, ? In the article, it lists an option for Guide Technique called The Ramble Tag, ? Might be something to consider for Staff who are doing lots of guiding throughout their workday as a way to minimize direct body contact. ? ? ?
