Note: LiDAR supported iPhone required(iPhone 12 pro/ pro max, 13 pro/ pro max, 14 pro/pro max, 15 pro/pro max, 16 pro/pro max, 17 pro/pro max) HAVEN is a prototype assistive navigation app that uses supported iPhone camera and LiDAR sensing to help visualize nearby space and generate directional guidance through wearable haptic feedback. Designed as a supplemental navigation aid, HAVEN combines real-time spatial mapping, local path planning, Bluetooth haptic output, and optional local-network visualization. The app uses ARKit-based environment sensing to identify nearby surfaces, obstacles, walkable space, and navigation cues, then translates path direction into five-channel haptic feedback values for connected wearable hardware. HAVEN is intended for research, demonstration, and assistive technology development. It is not a replacement for a white cane, guide dog, caregiver, or professional orientation and mobility training. Key Features • Real-time iPhone camera and LiDAR-based spatial mapping • ARKit scene reconstruction and local environment visualization • 2D occupancy map showing detected walkable areas, obstacles, doors, user position, and planned path • Path guidance using straight-line routing with A* fallback • Five-channel haptic feedback support for connected wearable hardware • Bluetooth communication for sending directional vibration commands • Local-network streaming for viewing live AR mesh and camera-position data on a nearby viewer device • On-screen haptic indicator for testing without external hardware • Special haptic patterns for door detection and no-path situations Privacy and Data: HAVEN processes camera, LiDAR, and spatial mapping data to provide navigation guidance. The app may stream live AR mesh and camera-position data to a nearby viewer device over the user’s local network for visualization and testing. HAVEN does not upload camera, LiDAR, AR mesh, or navigation data to cloud servers. Important Safety Notice: HAVEN is a supplemental assistive navigation tool. Users should not rely on HAVEN as their sole method of navigation or obstacle avoidance. Always use HAVEN alongside established mobility aids and safe navigation practices.

Verdict
Dukes App and HAVEN App are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
