ASPS acoustic spatial positioning system
Detailed description:
The ASPS system would provide spatial awareness to the blind and visually impaired population. The system would incorporate a mobile device, mobile application and hardware device that would be installed in different rooms & spaces.
Example of how the Technology would be used:
Imagine a blind person stepping out of a taxi. The individual would launch an application on their phone and walk into a building. As they walked into a building, the application would trigger the hardware device implanted in the first room approached. The hardware device embedded in the room sensing that a blind/visually impaired person with a mobile device has entered, would then emit a sound/frequency pattern. The mobile application on the mobile device would then interpret the sound/frequency pattern and provide a location name. The built-in text to speech, or screen reader would read the location label name allowed for the blind/visually impaired person.
