Indoor object detection for personal assistant for the blind

Humanware develops since 2003 a GPS-based dedicated device which helps a blind person to orient himself and guide him to his destination. In this project, we want to enhance the user’s experience by providing a better understanding of the environment by interacting with the device in a more natural manner. This project addresses two types of environment: the outdoor world where we want to improve door-to-door navigation by guiding the blind pedestrian to the door of the final destination and the indoor world where the device becomes a personal assistant.
