This project aims to help visually impaired individuals navigate cities using "talking" beacons. The beacons will provide audible directions and guidance to the user.
Talking Points 2 is a powerful, open-source software designed to aid visually-handicapped individuals in navigating through a city with great ease. It functions by utilizing Bluetooth beacons that are placed inside different points of interest throughout the city.
The software is incredibly innovative, and it works by querying a remote database using the unique MAC address of the beacon as key. Once the information is retrieved, it is displayed on the screen and read aloud to the user via text-to-speech technology.
One of the fantastic qualities of Talking Points 2 is its flexibility as it is being coded in both Java and Python for S60 prototypes. The open-source nature of the project allows for modifications to be made to the software to keep it relevant and up-to-date.
Overall, Talking Points 2 is a fantastic tool that helps visually-handicapped individuals enjoy a more independent experience navigating through cities with ease. This software is an excellent example of how technology can impact the lives of disabled individuals positively.
