AnnuitWalk Accessibilities Details
As seen that mobility is a difficult issue to visually impaired people, we had the idea to help them walk in our cities more safely. When interviewing blind people, we discovered that this issue was very relevant to them, as they felt uncomfortable walking with canes, running the risk of accidentally hitting someone or even get hurt. They wished for something more unobtrusive, so you feel safe and more comfortable. So, we created the PAW Project: Smart glasses for the visually impaired with a focus on obstacle detection. The main idea is to promote the social inclusion of these people, giving more comfort and safety in their mobility. Our intention is to bring an experience of more accessible city to an improvement in their quality of life. We use the ultrasonic sensors, capturing an angle of 120°, to identify possible obstacles of everything that comes in front of the user. The user is then notified of possible obstacles by means of bracelets with vibracalls, indicating the best way forward. Also, we intend to collect data on the quality of the streets, calculating the level of accessibility of the areas and notifying user by sending it to a social network that can create roads recommendation.
