WeWALK: Developing a smartphone app to provide an accessible navigation and exploration solution or visually impaired users
Developing a smartphone application that provides an accessible navigation and exploration solution for visually impaired users, providing reliable turn-by-turn walking and public transport navigation.
About the project
The WeWALK smartphone application aims to be the most accessible navigation and exploration solution for visually impaired users, providing reliable turn-by-turn walking and public transport navigation. It delivers both visual and auditory instructions, as well as full screen reader compatibility and low vision colour filters and text sizes.
With the WeWALK companion smart cane, users can access all these features through voice and simple touch gestures, reducing complexity when on the go.
