Safety Notice Perception Assist (Perceive World Assist) is an accessibility aid that uses the device camera to provide environmental audio and haptic cues. It does not measure health metrics and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional navigation services. Detection results may be inaccurate or incomplete and may be affected by lighting, weather, obstacles, camera angle, device movement, or network conditions. Always rely primarily on a cane, guide dog, or other mobility aid, follow official traffic signals and road signs, and act with your own judgment or assistance from trusted people. Do not use this app as the sole basis for crossing streets, navigation decisions, or any potentially dangerous situation. All information provided by the app is assistive and for reference only.
