Introducing a mobile app to help visually impaired explore their surroundings independently!
Sensible Innovations, offers turn-by-turn descriptive navigation for users, who can place their phone in their pocket and listen as the app announces places they pass.
Users can tell the app where they want to go, and it’ll tell them when they’ve arrived at their destination. Aware also provides an audio description of locations, such as a store’s layout.
How does the AWARE app work?
The AWARE app works with Sensible Innovations Electronic Stickers, to provide indoor directions and descriptions crafted with a visually impaired focus.
