EnlargeDescription
Accessible navigation app, designed to be fully voice-operable to support the independent mobility of visually impaired individuals, is an OpenStreetMap-based map app project that leverages native accessibility features on both iOS and Android. We plan to support its use with voice instructions and vibrations, particularly in areas such as on-campus environments. During the development phase, we plan to proceed by forking CoMaps, an open-source software.
