The mobile app for blind or visually impaired people
The mobile app that maps routes for blind or visually impaired people
JKJ is the fully digitized solution designed to improve visually impaired and blind people mobility.
The platform, needs a brief initial configuration of indoor and outdoor paths based on the automatic recognition of RFID sensors integrated into the paving, allows an autonomous navigation, ensure full accessibility to public places, such as stations, airports, subways and other urban areas.
The app leverages the bluetooth communication, between the proprietary stick, able to identify the sensors grafted into the paving, and the smartphone, and helps blind or visually impaired people moving along the path providing them with specific voice directions.
Democom took care of the design and implementation of the mapping and navigation mobile app solution dealing with all the design phases: requirements listing, technological scouting, solution design, development, testing and operational maintenance.
