Blind people don't have a big problem with bumping into furniture in their own home, much the same way you don't wipe out when walking from your bed to the bathroom in the dark. And instead of you getting 30 seconds of practice every other night, they navigate that way all the time.

Also, a bunch of noise playing whenever you walk through your house sounds like a huge bother.

Can confirm, I do this all the time lol. The crashing into furneture thing hah. I think it's too much fun! Also, I wouldn't want too much sound around me. I'm already aversive to overly loud, overly changing sounds. They tend to set off my migraines.

Is the refrigerator door open or closed? What about the drawers? Is the vacuum in the middle of the path?

Blind people don't need to know this things, of course. Don't need anybody, and can navigate everything like champs. On the other way, would really do harm to be able to know this on advance?.

    The reason this isn't a product that people use is because it sucks. Not because you were the first guy to think about the poor blind people.
