The Echo is a pair of headphones and wand for the blind to help them navigate. It uses 8 audio drivers with ultra surround sound to create a more accurate soundscape than regular headphones. The wand has an emitter and the headphones have a receiver that creates a sense of artificial echolocation. When an object is closer, a higher pitched sound is emitted from that direction in the headphones allowing the user to navigate a space with sound alone.
