Second Vision

Navigate the world with greater confidence and autonomy. Second Vision is your personal companion that uses cutting-edge technology to describe your surroundings, putting safety and information in the palm of your hand.

Second Vision is more than an app; it's the interface for a complete assistive system designed to transform your daily life. Paired with our low-cost, wearable hardware device, this app converts complex visual information into simple, direct audio alerts, allowing you to navigate urban environments with a new layer of safety and independence.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Wear the Device: Put on our lightweight, ergonomic hardware device.

Connect via Bluetooth: Use this app to quickly and easily pair your smartphone with the device.

Explore the World: The device captures images of the environment, processes them in real time, and sends the information to the app, which communicates it to you through audible alerts.

MAIN FEATURES:
👁️ Intelligent Object Detection: Increase your awareness of your surroundings. The system identifies common and potentially dangerous obstacles in your path, such as cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and other people, alerting you in advance so you can safely avoid them.

📖 Text Reading (OCR): Information is power. Point to a street sign or important notice, and Second Vision will read the text aloud to you. Never again feel unsure about which direction to take or what a document says.

🎛️ Flexible Operating Modes: Your experience, your rules. Customize the system's operation according to your current needs:
* Hybrid Mode: The default setting that detects both objects and text simultaneously.
* Object Mode: Ideal for walking in busy areas, focusing exclusively on your safety and obstacle detection. * Text Mode: Perfect for when you need specific information, like at a transit terminal or in front of a store.

🔊 Total Control Over Alerts: You're in control. Easily adjust the time interval between audio alerts. If the environment is visually cluttered, increase the interval to receive only the most critical information. If you need constant updates, decrease the time for faster feedback.

♿ 100% Accessible Interface: This app was designed from day one with accessibility in mind. With a minimalist, cohesive, and straightforward interface, it's compatible with Android's native screen readers, ensuring intuitive, barrier-free navigation.

OUR MISSION:
Second Vision was born in an academic environment, created by a group of students passionate about using technology to generate real social impact. We believe that autonomy and inclusion shouldn't come at a high price. Our mission is to democratize access to high-quality assistive tools by offering a functional, reliable, and, above all, affordable solution.

⚠️ ATTENTION: HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ⚠️
This app is the control center and audio interface for the Second Vision system and requires our wearable hardware device to function. The hardware device (based on a Raspberry Pi) is responsible for capturing and processing images. The app itself does not have camera functionality. For more information on how to obtain the device, please contact us.
