Hi, I'm the blind guy in there haha. I designed the software behind it, and my good friend has been helping with the hardware.
We'll be making another video with more description and details about what it can do exactly, but we currently have several beta testers locally who are giving us feedback on things to improve etc. Also, we're making it expandable especially for the navigation part, as we want to include a path maker using the app's map capabilities, which orients the user towards each path point clicked on by the device. We'll definetely improve our next video though. Thanks for the feedback :) have a great day > On 28/02/2017, at 10:21 AM, David and his growing pack of dogs.
