Vision Mate – Empowering the Visually Impaired with Volvo’s LiDAR and AI Tech!
Volvo’s Vision Mate App Unleashes the Power of LiDAR and AI for Unprecedented Safety and Independence for the Visually Impaired.
Navigating the world poses unique challenges for visually impaired and blind individuals, both indoors and outdoors. Despite the assistance of echolocation, walking canes, and service dogs, the harsh reality is that a staggering 95% of visually impaired individuals collide with obstacles while walking along roads. Additionally, 40% experience falls after hitting these obstacles, often resulting in injuries and fractures. At Volvo, we are committed to addressing these challenges and prioritizing the safety of visually impaired individuals by introducing Vision Mate – an innovative app that harnesses the power of LiDAR technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
Understanding the Challenge:
Visually impaired individuals encounter numerous obstacles in their daily lives, making navigation a daunting task. The risk of collisions and falls is significantly high, emphasizing the need for advanced solutions to enhance their safety and accessibility.
Volvo’s Commitment to Safety:
At Volvo, safety is a top priority. To address the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals, we have incorporated advanced features such as LiDAR technology in our cars for autonomous navigation. LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a cutting-edge technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create precise, detailed maps of the surroundings.
Introducing Vision Mate App:
To further extend our commitment to safety, we are proud to introduce Vision Mate – a revolutionary app designed to harness the full potential of LiDAR technology combined with AI. Vision Mate aims to improve accessibility and safety for visually impaired individuals by providing real-time assistance in navigating their surroundings.
