Camassia: Monocular Interactive Mobile Way Sonification

Real-time camera image analysis informs the walking person about the way in front by sonification. For visually impaired people, this opens a new way to experience their surroundings and move more safely outdoors. We extended an image analysis workflow from autonomous robots to human interaction, adaption to alternating way appearance, and various sonification options. The solution is available on off-the-shelf smartphones.
