Sidewalk

Sidewalk

Helping visually impaired people navigate urban environments using common technologies.

This brief came from a research group at the HvA Digital Life. The objective of the group was to create a solution with technologies that are already used by visually impaired people or technologies that are currently available in the market or will be in the near future. To do that, the group was already invested in using smartphones, smartwatches and beacons. They asked us the question, ‘how can a smartwatch+smartphone way-finding solution guide visually impaired people through an urban environment?’
