I have tested. It is very promising. I encourage people to test.

I no longer have the iOS device so this request. OVERVIEW Clew is a path retracing app designed for blind and visually impaired users to help them independently return to any desired locations. Using Apple's new ARKit built for iOS 11 devices, Clew records a path and guides the user back to their starting location with a choice of voice directions, sound effects, and haptic feedback. FEATURES HOW IT WORKS Augmented reality, exemplified by Apple's ARKit, superimposes virtual elements onto the real world. In this case, we add virtual "keypoints" to navigate you through unknown areas. What it does • As you walk to a location, your phone keeps track of its path with a series of virtual crumbs. • After you get there, your phone simplifies the path to a series of "keypoints" where you made a turn or used a stairway. • As you navigate back, your phone will give you instructions to each point, in reverse order, until you reach your starting location again. • You're now back at your seat, classroom, or restaurant table.

Clew is available for free on the App Store and is compatible with iPhone 6s and newer models running iOS11. For the full haptic experience, iPhone 7 and newer is recommended. What’s the best way to use Clew? To ensure that the camera is fully capturing your surroundings, hold the phone in a vertical portrait position with the camera facing away from you while you use Clew. Also, make sure the camera is fairly stable to ensure accurate location tracking. In what environment does Clew work best? Clew works best in well lit areas with distinct visual features and few moving objects like crowds and cars. Although Clew can be used outdoors, it is not as accurate in open areas and intense sunlight. Clew works optimally indoors over relatively short distances. What is the pause feature? You can pause Clew once you arrive at your destination and before you start navigating back. Press the pause button on the bottom right corner and follow the instructions. Once Clew is paused, you can exit the app to do other tasks or lock the phone as long as you don’t shut down Clew from the app switcher. When you are ready to return, press the resume button and follow the instructions to start tracking. How can I report a problem? Please use Clew at your own discretion.

Re: [AI] Clew, a revolutionary indoor navigation for iOS
Hi there, I do have a similar application, which is very popular amongst the Blind community, named blind Square. Which provides indoor and outdoor navigation. It’s a paid application on iOS, I’m using this at the moment, it Works like a charm, the developer is very active also. If you don’t mind is it possible for you to provide the actual link to the application? So I can investigate? If my memory serves me correctly, Microsoft has launched something similar cold soundscape also. With kind regards Sagar.
