Supersense is a new kind of app for the blind and low vision community. It locates objects around you. Do you need to find an empty chair or a trash can? Are you trying to locate the door of a building? Choose what you are looking for and scan your environment with your smartphone. Supersense will find it in real-time without an internet connection.
Supersense is developed by Mediate, an MIT-spinoff AI start-up based in Boston. Mediate develops innovative neural network systems with the support of National Science Foundation.
Supersense is available to download for Android on Google Play.
The iOS app for iPhone will be available later this summer 2019.
Mediate is an MIT spin-off led by a team of entrepreneurs, AI researchers, and designers from MIT, Harvard, and McKinsey. Mediate is generously supported by MIT DesignX Accelerator, MIT Sandbox program, and National Science Foundation.
The app is supported by Android 6.0 and above. Supersense is free for the first week. You can cancel your subscription during the first week without paying.
