About
In a disaster or emergency situation, Sighted Guide app operates the camera in the streaming mode for the Model Asset eXchange serviced offered by IBM to detect objects ahead. Audible sound says if the path ahead is clear, blocked or if stairs or a hole is present. Pics are sent every 5 seconds to rescuers signed onto the same app. Coordinates are collected at the source and stored in the AWS cloud. Using AWS Amplify, created backend support for the native iOS and Android app.
