Strideye: a walking assistant built around silence
An early-stage phone-and-glasses concept for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, designed to speak or vibrate when a hazard, crossing signal, or turn calls for attention.
- For
- Blind and partially sighted pedestrians
- Worth noticing
- The roadmap lists an iPhone app tested outdoors, while the glasses are still a prototype and release depends on blind testers’ judgment.
Field notes
The page breaks the concept into four steps—see, recognise, decide, and tell—and says each step runs on the device, including hazard recognition and alert selection. Its proposed glasses combine a camera and three distance sensors with vibration alerts; the site labels the model a concept rather than a production drawing. Indoor guidance is described as a later phase using centre maps, step tracking, and shop signs.
