Description
The idea is to assist blind people in walking through a busy city. The person can carry a mobile device that will provide audio guidance that will keep the person walking on sidewalks and allow them to identify their surroundings without having to search for the braille signs.
Key Points
- Place RFID cards in descriptive signs (these are the signs that currently have braille).
- Map walking routes by collecting GPS information from mobile phone users. Use these routes to provide walking assistance.
- Write a program that assembles this information and makes it available in a mobile device for on-the-go assistance.
Hi Chris has anyone ever had any interest in this idea of your? The reason i ask is we have been working on this very idea for a number of years now and are close to releasing our product and would be happy to hear any ideas you may have on the topic.
