AssistiveNavigation Wearable
Obstacle awareness for visually impaired users without a phone in hand
This is a concept study that shows how RoboFab would engineer this kind of systemIt is not a delivered client project and its images are reference visuals
01The problem
A cane cannot detect obstacles at head heightor tell a user what is ahead
02The approach
- 01A lightweight wearable camera runs an obstacle and sign detection model
- 02Haptic and audio feedback guide the user
- 03A companion app adjusts sensitivity and alerts
