GuideDog Nav

GuideDog Vision is a navigation assistant designed for blind and visually impaired individuals. Built as a student project, it uses your iPhone's LiDAR sensor, camera, and AI to detect obstacles, walls, stairs, and hazards in real time.

How it works:

• Automatic protection: constantly scans and warns about obstacles
• LiDAR distance sensing: real-time measurements in feet
• AI object detection: identifies people, chairs, vehicles, and more
• Cloud AI: detects stairs, wet floors, doors, and hazards on scan
• Voice alerts with haptic feedback

Controls:

• Hold screen: speak a voice command
• Double tap: scan surroundings
• Swipe left/right: check sides
• Voice: "What's around", "Is it safe", "Left", "Right", "Scan", "Help"

Privacy:

• All detection runs on-device
• Cloud AI optional, only on scan
• No images stored, no account needed

Works best on LiDAR-equipped iPhones (12 Pro and later). Camera and microphone access required.

Built as a student project to make navigation safer for the visually impaired community.
