HeadsUP: Optical Mobility Aid
Hello! We are a group of seniors at the University of Central Florida who set out to build a mobility aid for the blind. The conventional white cane commonly used by blind persons to detect and avoid obstacles as they navigate their environment has a limited detection range. This project is our journey to developing a convenient and affordable mobility aid device. We hope this project inspires you to leverage technology to empower the lives of the people around you.
