- The page says detection runs in the browser or on iOS, while a server-side depth model supplies distance estimates over WebSocket.
Field notes
The detector is described as a YOLO26n model running through ONNX Runtime Web/WASM in a browser or through CoreML on iOS, while speech uses Web Speech API or AVSpeechSynthesizer. The page reports 0.40 mAP@0.5 on official validation and about 0.4 m depth-model error at near range; its account of on-device privacy sits alongside a server-side depth component.
