EyeGuide — Development Preview

Mobility intelligence, thoughtfully built

Guide. Protect. Empower.

An AI visual and mobility companion for blind and low-vision people.

Designed to improve environmental awareness and mobility assistance. This is a development preview, not a finished public service.

What EyeGuide does

A mobility intelligence platform, not just a camera.

EyeGuide combines live perception, environmental understanding, distance estimation, moving-object awareness, walkable-space understanding, navigation context, indoor assistance, text reading, object finding, user-approved environmental memory, and concise mobility guidance.

Phone Mode

For iPhone and Android: phone camera, speaker, wired or Bluetooth headphones, and haptics. Camera active. Environment understood. Voice available. Safety monitoring active.

“Take me home.” “Find my keys.” “What is ahead?” “Read this.” “Where am I?” “Describe this room.”

Glasses Mode

Meta AI glasses and future supported camera glasses can offer hands-free orientation and audio interaction while the phone remains the compute/controller device where appropriate.

One mobility brain. Multiple device adapters. Glasses do not have an independent safety system.

Find Something

Find keys, a black wallet, blue bottle, shoes, red package, or medication bottle using object recognition, color, OCR, visual context, and saved user-approved memory.

Medication identity is never guessed; unreliable labels are communicated as uncertain.

Mobility Safety

Conservative, confidence-aware guidance.

Critical guidance is designed to continue locally when cloud services are unavailable. Important warnings can interrupt less important narration. When evidence is insufficient, EyeGuide should say: “I cannot verify.”

Crossing Guardian

Coverage before confidence.

Designed for intersection detection, left/right scan coverage, vehicle tracking, bike/scooter awareness, traffic direction, turning vehicles, pedestrian signal recognition, and confidence-aware crossing monitoring.

WALK SIGNAL does not automatically mean SAFE TO CROSS.

Other people crossing does not automatically mean SAFE TO CROSS.

Insufficient coverage is communicated rather than treated as clear.

Indoor Assistance

Practical orientation, room by room.

Understand space

Rooms, doors, hallways, furniture, open floor, obstacles, reading, and spatial guidance.

Learn with permission

User-approved environment learning and known-room recognition—not indefinite raw video storage.

Concise guidance

“Kitchen. Counter about four feet ahead. Refrigerator left. Clear space ahead-right.”

Privacy

Personal by design.

Critical processing is on-device where practical. No continuous raw-camera upload by default; raw clips require explicit consent where applicable. Compact semantic/spatial memories are preferred, people control their data and memory, and synchronized user data is designed to use encryption.

Research / Mission

Mobility independence through human-centered intelligence.

EyeGuide’s mission includes environmental awareness, active perception, confidence-aware guidance, collision-risk research, sensor fusion, accessibility, and human-centered design.

Planned co-design includes blind and low-vision users, Orientation & Mobility specialists, and accessibility researchers. This does not claim studies have already occurred.

For Partners & Researchers

Build the evidence and interfaces mobility deserves.

We welcome accessibility organizations, academic researchers, Orientation & Mobility professionals, technology and wearable-device partners, grant reviewers, and research collaborators.

Future Vision

A shared mobility intelligence layer across devices.

Planned support includes iPhone, Android, Meta AI glasses, and future camera glasses through provider interfaces.
