Product end user
Blind and visually impaired peopleAYES has developed an APS (Accessible Pedestrian Signals) system that runs locally on the smartphone. Our mobile application, OKO, recognizes the state of the traffic light through the camera of the smartphone and our AI software. We then bring that information back to the user using audio and haptic feedback. This can avoid very dangerous situations for blind and visually impaired users.
