Hi everyone! 👋
As a student project focused on tech for good, I wanted to build something that could give more autonomy to people. So, I developed an app that uses mobile AI to detect obstacles in real-time for blind and visually impaired individuals.
I just recorded a quick 1:46 test video showing the app detecting corridors, closed doors, and paths to help users navigate safely.
