P11015: Mobile Landmark Identification

/public/

Home

Project Summary	Project Information
Usually, the blind and visually impaired individuals face difficulties identifying the correct buses to get on at a bus stop. This project and the next iterations of this project aims to enable those individuals to identify the correct buses on their own with a help of wireless device. This project focuses on the software portion that includes mobile landmark identification and navigation for the blind and visually impaired individuals. This software package will provide a vector that can be incorporated into the combined device, P11017, that is projected to be an integration of this package of software as well as the static landmark identification package, P11016, which is running in parallel with this project. These packages will both be integrated in coming iterations of this family of projects into a stand-alone hand-held device. public/productpic.jpg Useful Links: Link to P11016 Link to P11017 Link to Wherefore Art Thou, My Bus?
