IndoorNavGuide

We present a pilot prototype under development in the VILNIUS TECH R&D project titled ‚Integrated augmented reality research for socially impaired (blind and partially sighted)’. The main aim of the presented electronic traveling aid (ETA) system (in short, IndoorNavGuide) is real-time indoor orientation and guided navigation using social networking support.

The IndoorNavGuide uses a specially designed headband with IMU and other sensors, cameras, tactile display, control unit, mobile app, computer vision-based algorithms, web cloud server, etc. It aims to learn indoor routes, add points of interest, avoid obstacles, guide blind people indoors in real-time, and use volunteer's help in complex situations.
