AIBA Navi
Read full descriptionHide full description
AIBA Navi is a navigation companion for blind and low-vision people β made in Portugal, built side by side with the people who use it. OPEN IT AND IT TALKS. No setup: on opening it tells you where you are, which marked points are around you, and what you can ask for. THE WORLD, LIVE. Tap World and hear what surrounds you as you walk β streets, places, crossings β with hazards always first, following the international standard ITU-T F.921. No pre-mapping needed: it works wherever you are. FOUR LANGUAGES. It speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish or French, says place names in your language, and uses the right voice for each one. TALK TO IT. "Is there a cafΓ© nearby?", "Take me to the pharmacy", "Which buses stop here?" β it understands natural language, answers, and guides you. THE CAMERA THAT SPEAKS. Scenes, text, money (notes and coins), medicines from the box, colours, people, and how you look in the mirror. SAFETY FIRST. It detects shared e-scooters on the pavement over Bluetooth, measures obstacles with LiDAR, calls the emergency contact for the area you are in, shares your route in real time with people you trust, and lets you report hazards by voice for the whole community. MAPPED ZONES. In places with the AIBA network installed (museums, universities, cities), guidance tightens to the metre with beacons, using the knowledge of whoever mapped it.
