MyGuide is a project aimed to help the visually impaired navigate inside Politecnico di Torino Campus. Our vision is to remove barriers, create solutions and expand possibilities to help users achieve their full potential as Polito students. The GPS system does not provide exact indoor positioning needed to navigate a visually impaired inside Politecnico di Torino. Thus we aim at creating a reliable indoor positioning and navigation system for the visually impaired to be able to maneuver around the Politecnico campus.
MyGuide should be an easy-to-use system that determines the location of the user and receives a destination (through voice commands from the users). Then it directing the person accordingly to their destination. The feedback to the user is in the form of audio and/or vibrating walking cane. MyGuide is able to detect obstacles with reasonable accuracy and route the user through hallways in Politecnico.
Future Updates
New languages
MyGuide system will be provided in the most used languages, to keep in touch with the idea of multi user systems and applications.
Better localization
In the near future, our system will be designed to work with better GPS position sensors, for a better usage, confort and safety.
On-line support
We well provide on-line support and helpdesk for those who need to know how to use the system and where is implemented.
