We believe that everyone deserves to experience the wonders of the world, regardless of their visual abilities. That's why we are proud to introduce LisNav, a groundbreaking solution that merges Augmented Reality (AR) with Artificial Intelligence (AI), tailored specifically to empower and enhance the lives of the visually impaired. Our innovative AR and AI technology acts as your eyes, enabling you to perceive the world like never before. Through this app, you will be immersed in an augmented environment that provides real-time audio descriptions that transforms your surroundings into a rich tapestry of information and accessibility.
This solution uses publicly available datasets to inform audio-described content in the city. Further, it has the capability to embed user information referring to points of interest identified and added by the local community. With LisNav, you will be able to move freely and confidently through both familiar and unfamiliar environments with the assistance of our AR and AI system.
Audio assisted environmental information is transmitted using stereo output with the intent to facilitate understanding of directions when outdoors. The system is compatible with the device embedded audio output speaker and external audio peripherals. Experience the freedom, confidence, and limitless opportunities that await you with our groundbreaking AR and AI solution for the visually impaired.
